The group comprises the National Football League (NFL) Atlanta Falcons Football Club LLC, the New Atlanta Stadium project, and a future Atlanta Major League Soccer (MLS) team.

The Challenge
AMB Sports and Entertainment Group (AMBSE), a subsidiary of AMB Group LLC, is responsible for managing the Atlanta Falcons Football Club, the New Atlanta Stadium project, and a future Atlanta Major League Soccer team. The group faced a significant challenge in attracting fans to the stadium, as they had to compete with high-tech, at-home, and other viewing experiences. The group needed to deploy technology that could enhance the traffic and parking experience, provide faster food and beverage service, and offer equal or better Wi-Fi connectivity than at home. The ultimate goal was to create an immersive, one-of-a-kind stadium experience that would draw fans away from their screens at home and into the stadium seats.
The Solution
To address this challenge, AMBSE decided to incorporate technology into the design of the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The stadium was designed to include a 360-degree wraparound video screen, the largest in the NFL, and more than 2,000 displays throughout the building to ensure that spectators never miss a minute of the action. A high-density (HD) Wi-Fi network was also installed to allow fans to text, post to social media, and watch replays on their mobile devices. Additionally, AMBSE implemented interconnected, centrally managed traffic, gate, security, and concession management systems to increase operational efficiency. A Passive Optical Network (PON) replaced copper wiring with fiber optics, providing nearly unlimited bandwidth and reducing the number of intermediate distribution frame (IDF) cable rooms by 33 percent.

During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
