High-density wireless for venues where thousands connect at once.

When 50,000 fans hit 'share' at the same time

Stadium WiFi isn't like office WiFi. It's not even like hotel WiFi. When the home team scores, every phone in the stadium tries to upload simultaneously. That's tens of thousands of concurrent connections, massive bandwidth spikes, and zero tolerance for failure.

Standard WiFi deployments can't handle this. You need infrastructure designed specifically for high-density environments — proper capacity planning, the right access point placement, and backhaul that won't buckle under pressure.

Designed for density, built for matchday

We design stadium WiFi systems around worst-case scenarios. Not average usage — peak usage. The moment when everyone's filming the winning goal, posting to Instagram, checking the replay.

Our approach

  • Capacity modelling based on actual attendance and device density
  • High-density access points designed for stadium environments
  • Sectored coverage so each stand has dedicated capacity
  • Backhaul architecture that handles the peaks without throttling
  • Real-time monitoring so we see problems before fans do

Every seat, every suite, every concourse

We design coverage for the entire venue — not just the main bowl.

Coverage areas we design for

  • Stands and seating bowls — high-density coverage for fans
  • Hospitality suites and boxes — premium connectivity for corporate guests
  • Concourses and walkways — coverage between areas
  • Press and media areas — dedicated bandwidth for broadcasters
  • Back-of-house — staff, security, operations
  • Outdoor areas — fan zones, parking, queuing areas

Your venue works harder than one day a week

Modern stadiums host concerts, conferences, exhibitions, community events. Your WiFi infrastructure needs to flex for different use cases — not just 50,000 fans, but 500 delegates or 5,000 concert-goers with different demands.

We design systems that adapt. Reconfigurable capacity allocation, different SSIDs for different events, usage analytics that help you understand how your venue is being used.

WiFi as part of the experience

Stadium WiFi isn't just infrastructure — it's part of the fan experience. In-seat ordering, live stats, instant replays, social sharing. The better your connectivity, the more your fans engage.

We can integrate with

  • In-app ordering and payment systems
  • Wayfinding and seat location
  • Live stats and second-screen experiences
  • Social media walls and fan engagement platforms
  • Loyalty and rewards programmes

Secure by design

Venues handle payment data, personal information, broadcast feeds. Security isn't optional.

Every stadium deployment includes

  • Fortinet enterprise firewalls
  • Encrypted connections throughout
  • Segregated networks (fan WiFi, corporate, operations, media)
  • PCI compliance for payment systems
  • Real-time threat monitoring

We've done this before

We understand the unique challenges of venue WiFi and have the experience, hardware and support to deliver.

Frequently asked questions

How many users can stadium WiFi handle?
That depends on the design. We model capacity based on your venue size, expected attendance, and usage patterns. A well-designed stadium WiFi system can handle tens of thousands of concurrent users — but only if it's architected for that from the start.
How much does stadium WiFi cost?
Stadium WiFi is a significant investment — we're talking enterprise infrastructure for high-density environments. Every venue is different, so we'd need to survey your site and understand your requirements before quoting. The good news: we offer flexible commercial models including zero CapEx options.
Can you upgrade our existing stadium WiFi?
Usually, yes. We'll survey what you have, identify the bottlenecks, and design an upgrade path. Sometimes it's adding capacity, sometimes it's replacing aging equipment, sometimes it's redesigning the backhaul. We'll give you honest advice on what's worth keeping and what needs replacing.
Do you provide matchday support?
Yes. For venues that need it, we offer on-site engineering support during major events. We can also provide enhanced remote monitoring during fixtures and events so we catch issues before fans notice them.
What about outdoor fan zones and parking areas?
We design coverage for your entire venue footprint, not just the main bowl. Fan zones, parking areas, external queuing — anywhere fans gather and expect connectivity. Outdoor deployments use weatherproof equipment rated for UK conditions.
