Game situation
Bandwidth limitations fumble fan and team connectivity
In the stands, thousands of fans require access to live streaming and up-to-the-minute player stats, while team members behind the scenes need digital playbooks and Wi-Fi connected apps for training. The Bucs sought a dedicated network solution that could support maximum capacity events and connectivity to all global sites.
Play execution
Scalable, flexible Lumen networking provides reliable connections.
Lumen® Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) delivers fast, reliable internet connection and Lumen® IP VPN provides a dynamic, high-availability network.
Coaching tips
The right network responds to any situation
“The Lumen solutions that we have for our network have allowed for broader fan engagement. The less time that they spend having to wait in lines and ordering food is more time for them to enjoy just what they bought their tickets for, which is to come and enjoy the Buccaneers.”
– Charles Harris, Vice President of Information Technology
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
“Now, with Lumen DIA, it’s seamless. With the bandwidth we’ve got in place, we can have 70,000 people in there and it can be the same as if you have two people in the stadium.”
– Alex Bohne, Director of Information Technology
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tech that tackled the challenge
