How to get great mobile connectivity throughout your venue: A Guide from Boldyn Networks

Great mobile connectivity is a key enabler for revenue growth and fan engagement but how can stadiums ensure great 4G/5G coverage everywhere fans expect? Boldyn Network’s guide to great mobile connectivity, explains how stadium owners and operators can achieve this and use connectivity to increase revenues and streamline operations.  

Venue owners and operators know first-hand how the world is becoming ever more mobile first, whether it’s making payments, searching the internet or sharing experiences with friends. People increasingly expect that their mobile phones will be connected, wherever and whenever they need them.

Great mobile connectivity is a key enabler for any venue’s strategy and fan engagement. It can transform fan experience, increase revenue and create new operational efficiencies but ensuring consistent, strong connectivity throughout a venue can be challenging.

The size and structure of venues often results in patchy and poor 4G/5G mobile coverage, without the capacity to handle the demands of large numbers of people in one location. A good Wi-Fi service can compensate and can be an important part of a venue’s connectivity mix but may struggle to completely fulfil the mobile data hungry demand of a sell-out audience.

This Guide provides a non-technical overview of how any venue can achieve great 4G/5G mobile connectivity throughout the venue, wherever it’s needed. It also illustrates how such connectivity is a key enabler to meet the strategic challenges faced by venues.
