Case Study
Boingo and Solid Win Over
College Basketball Fans
Another March Madness has come and gone with all the thrills that go with it—buzzer beaters, bracket busters and Cinderella stories. While there was only one winner in the tournament, Vivint Smart Home Arena—a host site for the men’s first and second rounds—proved it’s the champion in fan connectivity.
Boingo and Solid recently partnered to launch a new cellular Distributed Antenna System (DAS) network at Vivint Smart Home Arena as part of its $125 million renovation project. The installment of this wireless infrastructure boosts cellular coverage for fans’ connected experiences, meaning they can stream and share all the action from March Madness instantly. As part of Vivint Arena’s emergency-preparedness strategy, the DAS set-up also provides enhanced network availability for first-responder radio communications.
Boingo and Solid make the world of connectivity possible for sports venues at colleges and universities with DAS and Wi-Fi systems. Kansas State University, University of Nebraska, Gonzaga University and University of Arizona are among the schools that have turned to Boingo to power connectivity.
Keeping fans connected is
fundamental. We knew by
partnering with Boingo and
Solid we’d create a best-inclass
wireless network.
