These venues are home base for NFL, Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), National Hockey League (NHL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) teams, welcoming millions of guests every year.
The Aptilo Service Management Platform (SMP) provides a seamless and secure authentication of subscribers belonging to the service provider delivering the Wi-Fi service at the stadium. Aptilo SMP keeps track of all user sessions, and users who have temporarily lost contact with the Wi-Fi network are automatically logged in again when contact is re-established. Non-subscribers can login through an event-branded portal.

Stadium Wi-Fi puts enormous pressure on the Wi-Fi network and service management systems, with tens of thousands of users rushing online at the same time,” said Jonas Jacobsson, Vice President Sales, Americas, Aptilo Networks. “Stadiums need to go carrier-class with their Wi-Fi in order to handle the sheer volume of people.
