The Sacramento Kings basketball team's home court, Golden 1 Center, is getting a connectivity upgrade courtesy of a multi-year agreement with Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Business.
Comcast Business will install redundant transport facilities and two 100G Ethernet dedicated Internet circuits at the arena. The services will provide the back end infrastructure enabling the team to provide free WiFi for fans, power the Kings mobile app, and supply cloud-based voice and unified communications services for team members at the arena and at the team’s corporate offices. In addition to Golden 1 Center, the connection will serve the public plaza Downtown Commons.
Comcast Business will also provide the in-house video feed to all TV monitors throughout Golden 1 Center, allowing patrons to access ancillary programming while attending concerts and other events at the arena.
