With rising mobile consumption and rapidly advancing digital marketing standards, Internet services alone are inadequate to meet the requirements of stadium operators and the spectators for a seamless experience. Stadium operators need end-to-end solutions, including wireless networks and innovative services.

This need for better connected stadiums has brought Huawei and Infosys together. Till date, Huawei has deployed Wi-Fi networks in more than 20 famous stadiums worldwide.

The new Smart Stadium Solution integrates Huawei’s Agile Network and Infosys’ Entertainment Experience Platform. Some of the services the solution offers are:

  • Location-based campaigns
