The Sacramento Kings engaged CommScope for infrastructure design assistance and validation, including future proof concepts, next-generation data center models, and efficient installation implementation. The Kings Technology Team were committed to delivering the most state-of-the-art entertainment complex, and turning to industry leaders like CommScope was paramount to their success.
