Tottenham Hotspur Enlists Hewlett Packard For Robust Stadium Network

Perennial Premier League contender Tottenham Hotspur is intent on making its new London stadium among the world’s most technologically advanced to improve in-game entertainment and keep fans as connected to the outside world as they want.

The football club announced this week that it has contracted with Hewlett Packard Enterprise on this endeavor, wiring the information technology company’s Aruba network into the venue at the start for maximum infrastructure support. The stadium, which will be London’s largest for any club with a capacity 61,559, is scheduled to open in 2018 and is expected to host concerts and two NFL games per season for a decade in addition to the Hotspur.
