Oakland Arena is positioned to meet the connectivity demands of the next decade\u2014from high-density live events to immersive fan experiences.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tBart Giordano, SVP and president, RUCKUS Networks<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tThe deployment delivered immediate impact for the venue; two back-to-back sold-out K-pop concerts ran flawlessly, with 100% switch uptime and 8.22 terabytes of traffic handled over two days, without disruption. Oakland Arena demonstrates what\u2019s possible when purpose-built Wi-Fi 7 solutions are paired with the right expertise \u2013 ten times faster speeds and zero downtime during a sold-out event. That\u2019s the standard venues have come to expect.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tMyron Duckens, CEO, Fortis Solutions<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tWhile typical arena projects often take months, this implementation was completed in 13 days. To accelerate deployment and minimize disruption, Fortis Solutions\u2019 patented Source of Truth automation tools were used to migrate legacy configurations into a RUCKUS-compatible architecture. This approach reduces manual engineering effort and allows the arena to remain fully operational throughout the upgrade, demonstrating the efficiency of our solutions and the strength of RUCKUS\u2019 enterprise-grade Wi-Fi platform solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tColby Tucker, Senior Director of Operations, Oakland Arena<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tPrior to the deployment of RUCKUS technology and Fortis\u2019 network automation tools, the 19,500-seat venue was operating on legacy infrastructure that lacked modern beamforming and MIMO capabilities\u2014putting it at risk of high latency, buffering, and frequent disconnects during sold-out events. Today, the arena delivers a level of connectivity that rivals, and in many cases can outperform, newer venues, with superior coverage, capacity, and reliability even at peak demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; The installation delivered a comprehensive, end-to-end transformation of the arena\u2019s network, including the deployment of nearly 300&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144,140912,140913],"class_list":["post-342352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-wi-fi-7-transformation","tag-wireless-access-points"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
