NEW YORK, N.Y. - Fans at Empower Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos, can now enjoy a significantly upgraded game-day experience thanks to the new Wi-Fi 6E and Local Area Network (LAN) installation led by Verizon Business. The network refresh includes more than 2,400 wireless access points to deliver connectivity that will help advance the stadium’s operations and improve the overall fan experience and safety.
With this new deployment, fans looking to use the stadium’s public Wi-Fi can enjoy fast and reliable internet access on their devices. Operationally, front and back office teams now have the speed, reliability and performance they need to make sure everything from POS systems to surveillance, crowd management, digital ticketing, sustainability and access control measures run flawlessly.
Verizon completely replaced the stadium’s legacy Wi-Fi network with a best-in-class network and security solution designed to supercharge the 76,125 capacity stadium. Serving both public and private Wi-Fi, the Bronco’s network backbone uses a dedicated 6GHz frequency band. This exclusive channel makes the network easier for IT to manage and scale and sets the organization up for game-day operational excellence long past the 2024-2025 season. Using WPA3, a Wi-Fi security standard, for stronger encryption and security features means Empower Field at Mile High is able to protect sensitive operations data and support secure communications across the network.
