System Solutions for Stadium & Arena Network Infrastructure

Mobility, digitization and technology advances are transforming sports stadiums and other entertainment arenas globally. These venues must balance providing engaging, positive visitor experiences with safety and security imperatives to protect the tens of thousands of people in and around the site.

Due to the high-density of the crowds and smartphones in such close proximity to each other, open spaces like arenas and stadiums are among the most challenging to provide broadband wireless access. Connected stadiums today often look to WLAN access points, along with IP surveillance cameras, to ensure high-density Wi-Fi and LTE coverage, as well as crowd security.

For stadium infrastructure, accurate and precise network timing synchronization is essential to deploying an IP video surveillance system. Microsemi is the leader in NTP servers, which connect to various potential sources of synchronization, including GPS inputs, to accurately distribute network timing using the NTP protocol.

For service providers looking to increase network edge capacity and coverage to deliver advanced wireless services for public hotspots in such high-density open spaces, Microsemi provides complete timing systems for network time synchronization, and accurate time stamping across distributed systems. Enabling indoor and outdoor deployment wireless network deployment options, Microsemi’s time and synchronization solutions are ideal for multiple applications including small cells for dense LTE coverage and backhaul to eNodeBs at the LTE network edge.
