Smart stadiums

With so many advances in customer experience relying on technology, it’s no surprise the smart stadium market is estimated to increase to $34.5B USD by 2028. The experience starts with IoT-enabled ticketing systems that work anywhere and place no additional burden on stretched Wi-Fi networks.

Food and beverage

Fans want fast and simple access to food and beverages. Self-service checkout options like touch screens, vending machines, kiosks, checkout free stores, and self-service beverage machines offer speed and convenience.

New revenue streams

Faster, self-service checkout options help increase frequency of customer purchases. Geocaching targeted advertising, enabling retailers and food providers to excite fans with custom offers and coupons. Both are powered by Cellular IoT with no reliance on Wi-Fi networks.

Wearable tech

Wristbands enable seamless payments at merchants and can also leverage sensors to capture audience experience, like motion, temperature, and sound volume. Wearable vibrating vests help bring the live music experience to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

Environmentals

Consumers expect smart stadiums to be smart about energy consumption. Cellular IoT sensors help deliver a greener fan experience, like monitoring energy usage, waste, water, and smart lighting to lower costs.

Fan security

Cellular IoT-powered video cameras handle the high bandwidth security teams need to monitor crowd control. IoT sensors across the stadium collect data on crowdflow, allowing security teams to dispatch quickly if needed.

FAQs

Stadiums already have Wi-Fi networks. What is the benefit of my IoT devices using cellular connectivity?

Cellular IoT puts you in control. Wi-Fi at events can have connectivity issues and is usually overburdened. Cellular IoT gives you access to primary and roaming networks to increase your device reliability. Plus, device activation is Wi-Fi free, so you do not need to coordinate with the venue for secure Wi-Fi passwords to get started. The ongoing management of IoT devices via cellular also means they do not need access to venue Wi-Fi, making it easier for you to keep your fleets updated.
