Stadium Wi-Fi by Ruckus and the Los Angeles Angels Case Study

January 30, 2015 by Nathan Miloszewski

There’s a long list of stadiums, arenas, convention centers, theatres, and recreational centers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Germany that use Ruckus Wireless for their public Wi-Fi systems.

The video above shows the success that Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Angels have had using Ruckus to enhance their fan’s gameday experience.

The Challenge

Use Wi-Fi to increase operational efficiencies throughout a stadium that holds 45,574 people.

The Solution

  • 200 Ruckus ZoneFlex narrow beam and ZoneFlex sectorized beam outdoor access points
  • Over 100 high-capacity three stream Ruckus ZoneFlex indoor access points
  • Ruckus SmartCell Gateway (SCG) 200 to manage access points

The Result

Free Wi-Fi access is not only helping to attract and retain fans, but the stadium is also using it for mobile food concessions including wireless-enabled cash registers and handheld point of sale devices to speed up transactions.

The stadium also plans to add handheld ticket barcode scanners to this Ruckus network for ticket processing.

John Clarey, CEO of 5 Bars, the company that owns and operates the Ruckus Wi-Fi network within the Angels stadiums said that:

Not only is sophisticated Ruckus technology like BeamFlex™ ideally suited for providing Wi-Fi to Angel Stadium, it requires deploying less APs in order to provide reliable coverage over the same area, compared with other vendors like Cisco, so it was an easy choice for us, and one we know will deliver the kind of performance, capacity and reliability both we and our clients demand.
