Wi-Fi 7 delivers an immersive, frictionless fan experience, from instant entry to uninterrupted engagement, delivering seamless operations at scale
Key Facts
-
Seamless Stadium Connectivity for Fans: Extreme’s Wi-Fi powers stadium experiences from the stands to the back office – keeping thousands of fans engaged with instant replays, live stats, and personalized mobile offers, while ensuring digital signage and A/V systems operate reliably throughout the venue.
-
Connected Before Kickoff: Bayer 04’s wireless network extends approximately 30 metres beyond the BayArena gates, giving fans reliable access to digital tickets so they can get to their seats quickly and seamlessly, even when cellular networks are under pressure.
-
Streamlined Management & Secure Operations: The new network delivers centralized management, giving the club visibility and control from a single platform and simplifying day-to-day operations for Bayer 04’s IT team. The team can also easily segment the network, keeping different types of users and traffic separate so payments at concession stands, staff communications and other critical systems are separate from fan Wi-Fi.
“BayArena has hosted countless legendary matches, and the technology behind it needs to keep pace with the game. Extreme Wi-Fi 7 gives us the connectivity to support more fans and staff with a significantly higher number of devices and more data, while keeping critical stadium operations running reliably, from Bundesliga matches to international competitions,” said Andreas Hinder, Head of IT at Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
