State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona—sites of Super Bowl LVI and LVII, respectively.
In addition to the high-speed reliable network connectivity, the improvements will see the Quakes utilize Cisco’s ThousandEyes monitoring platform, giving the club unparalleled visibility into the entire network path, including cloud and internet environments. ThousandEyes will allow team operators to have an unmatched view of end-to-end network performance, enabling them to quickly identify issues as they arise and streamline workflows for faster resolution.
“As a worldwide leader in sports and entertainment as well as our neighbor in San Jose, Cisco is the natural partner to turn to for this project,” said Jed Mettee, Chief Operating Officer for the San Jose Earthquakes. “Cisco’s next generation Wi-Fi 6 technology will help us take our in-venue experience to the next level, offering the speed, bandwidth and reliability that we know fans demand.”
Cisco and the Quakes will also partner to launch Leveling the Pitch, a community-impact program that will provide local San Jose students the opportunity to learn more about careers in technology through hands-on opportunities and networking sessions with industry executives. The two organizations share a commitment to making a positive impact on their hometown by creating opportunities for local young leaders.
“The San Jose Earthquakes and Cisco have a joint vision to provide all fans, visitors, coaches and players an unparalleled and seamless connected experience at PayPal Park,” said Ashley Marusak, Leader, Global Sponsorship Marketing at Cisco. “Wi-Fi 6 is powering more immersive, connected experiences for sports fans all around the world, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this technology to bear for Quakes fans in our own hometown of San Jose.”
Today’s announcement builds upon Cisco’s global involvement in the sport of football, leveraging its industry-leading solutions and expertise to connect clubs around the world, including Real Madrid F.C. and St. Louis CITY SC.
