Tottenham Hotspur today
announced it has selected Hewlett Packard Enterprise as its official IT
Networking and Wireless Infrastructure Partner.
The club is currently
building a new stadium on the site of its former home White Hart Lane in
London.
Set to open in 2018, it
will be one of the most technologically advanced stadia ever built, delivering
an enhanced event day experience for all visitors.
The new state-of-the-art
venue will be the largest football club stadium in London, with a capacity of
61,559 and will also host other major sport and entertainment events such as
NFL games and concerts.
Since planning for the new
stadium began, the club has been committed to driving innovation and using
modern technology to enhance the in-venue experience for every visitor.
As a result, the stadium’s
IT infrastructure is being incorporated from the ground up, enabling
connectivity across the entire venue for visitors and flexibility to cater to
future demands.
The club is installing
Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, networking solutions, with support
from HPE’s Pointnext services organisation, to meet its current and future
technology demands.
Sanjeev Katwa, Head of
Technology, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “Creating a technology infrastructure to
support an enhanced visitor experience requires solutions that can meet the
growing demands of visitors that come to our new stadium.
“We believe Hewlett
Packard Enterprise can support us on the journey in building one of the most
technologically advanced stadiums in the world.”
Marc Waters, MD, U.K. and
Ireland, HPE said: “Tottenham Hotspur realise that being digital from the
ground up is imperative to transform its fan experience.
“We are thrilled to
support Tottenham Hotspur in this journey, using our intelligent edge solutions
and Pointnext expertise to help build the foundation for a truly digital
stadium.
“Our partnership with the
club will help enable future innovation and the ability to provide an enriched,
unique environment for stadium visitors.”
