The University of Nebraska’s 85,000-seat Memorial Stadium is the proud home of the Cornhuskers, and some of the most loyal fans in the country. It boasts an astounding stadium sellout streak that dates back to November 3, 1962. But with today’s generation of fans expecting network connectivity everywhere for their smartphones and other wireless devices, university administrators knew the stadium needed a major technology overhaul to keep them happy.
Challenges
“The University wanted to ensure strong connectivity to the Wi-Fi network for all fans throughout the stadium. This would relieve cellular congestion and provide reliable service for voice, text, and data,” says Paul Somers, Executive Account Manager for CDW, the information technology solution provider that was awarded the project.
