Recommended solutions for sports and entertainment venues
Dedicated Internet Access
Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a private, symmetrical fiber connection with guaranteed bandwidth and a service level agreement, so the speed you buy is the speed you get at all hours.
Wavelength Services
Wavelength services provide dedicated, very high-capacity optical circuits, typically 10 Gbps to 400 Gbps, between data centers and major sites.
Managed Wi-Fi and LAN
Managed Wi-Fi and local area network services design, install, monitor and support your wireless and switching infrastructure.
Internet Failover and Backup
Internet failover pairs your primary circuit with a second connection on a different technology or provider, switching automatically when the main link drops.
DDoS Mitigation
DDoS mitigation detects and filters distributed denial-of-service attacks before they overwhelm your internet connection, website or applications.
Business TV
Business television services deliver live programming to lobbies, bars, restaurants, hotel rooms, residences and offices under commercial licensing.
Compliance and regulatory considerations
Technology decisions in this sector are commonly shaped by PCI DSS. We help you shortlist providers whose attestations, contract terms and service designs support those obligations, and we coordinate the documentation your auditors, insurers or customers request. Your own legal and compliance advisors remain the authority on what applies to your organization.
