Case Study: National Event Center Entertainment Company achieves validated Wi-Fi performance and optimized coverage with Ixia

Entertainment Arena Validates New Cutting-Edge Wi-Fi Services

National Event Center Entertainment Company wanted to launch new paid Wi‑Fi data services for arena guests, but first needed to validate network performance and service tiers after a prior technology rollout failed to perform as promised. The company turned to Ixia, using IxChariot and IxVeriWave to ensure the upgraded Wi‑Fi network could support dense in-stadium demand and deliver a better customer experience.

Ixia implemented real-world testing with IxChariot and post-installation Wi‑Fi evaluation with IxVeriWave, simulating live application traffic and scanning indoor and outdoor coverage. The results included reduced network latency, discovery of two application-affecting defects that were fixed before go-live, and optimization of radio coverage by resolving co-channel interference and adding a Wi‑Fi radio.
