Comcast Business is building a new multi-site enterprise network for the Atlanta Braves that will connect the team’s front offices at SunTrust Park with minor league operations in Rome and Gwinnett County, Ga., and in Danville, Va., as well as a sales location at CNN Center in downtown Atlanta.
“More than ever, we needed a communications infrastructure across multiple sites that would give us fast, reliable communications and more than enough capacity to accommodate a host of emerging technology applications,” Atlanta Braves President of Development Mike Plant, says. “This is exactly the sort of technology investment that can ultimately translate into a competitive advantage for us on the field, and a great experience for fans.”
Comcast Business is slated to provide two 100 Gbps Ethernet lines into the Braves’ new ballpark, which is set for completion in 2017.
The Ethernet network service solution will support speeds between 20 Mbps and 200 Mbps to facilitate communications between the front office and the minor league teams. The operator reports that when it’s completed, the network will be one of the largest stadium and mixed-use development installations in the country.
