The six-year small cell agreement is to ensure Wi-Fi connectivity and value-added services accessible via a mobile app to visitors to the municipal stadium in Warszawa.
Ericsson’s managed solution to Legia Warszawa includes technology such as carrier-grade Wi-Fi access points, IP routers and Ethernet switches, as well as planning, design, implementation, integration, optimization and maintenance services.
Legia Warszawa will develop a mobile app that maximizes the value of the connectivity provided by Ericsson. The mobile app enables spectators to access live video broadcasts and newsfeeds, order fast food and buy merchandise. Ericsson will also enable Legia Warszawa to further monetize the connectivity and mobile app through advertising.
“By supplementing the network capacity provided by local operators with carrier-grade Wi-Fi, we can ensure that large crowds of visiting fans can continue to share photos, tweets and e-mails – while also introducing value-added services that football fans can access via a customized mobile app,” said Jean-Claude Geha, vice president and head of Managed Services at Ericsson.
