Challenges & fixes

Tens of thousands of devices connect in the same few hours

Tens of thousands of devices connect in the same few hours

A stadium network sits mostly idle between events, then has to handle tens of thousands of simultaneous connections the moment gates open — a load profile almost no other venue type has to plan for.

  • OpenX Cloud capacity monitoring is built around exactly this kind of peak load
  • AAA/RADIUS-as-a-Service handles massive authentication spikes without slowing down
  • Access Points deployed at high density across seating bowls and concourses
Concessions and ticketing can't be at risk when fan WiFi surges

Concessions and ticketing can't be at risk when fan WiFi surges

Mobile ordering and ticket scanning share infrastructure with fan WiFi in many venues, so a fan-driven surge can slow down the exact systems the venue needs to keep lines moving.

  • OpenX AAA isolates concessions and ticketing from fan WiFi
  • OpenX Gateway prioritizes operational traffic automatically during events
  • OpenX Switch give PoE stability to fixed concession and gate systems
