WiFi helps to build a great user experience at Superbowl

While you're enjoying replays and slow motion repeats on huge video screens, you're probably not paying any attention to the fact that the infrastructure that brings it all together is ought to be very sophisticated. And it sure is!
There's 5 backbone nodes supporting the stadium bowl with 29 more supporting them in the vicinity. Those access points organize a wireless network capable of supporting not only video streaming, but end-user net access, security systems, point-of-sale terminals, etc. And it's flexible enough to have it's bandwidth redistributed as needed.
