Case Study: Tampa Bay Buccaneers achieve reliable, scalable connectivity with Lumen

Global communications services amplify bandwidth for fans, coaches and players

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a professional NFL team based in Tampa, Florida, needed to consolidate its network and WAN infrastructure with a single vendor while improving reliability for game day operations and gaining the flexibility to scale bandwidth on demand. Lumen provided the communications foundation the team needed, including Lumen Internet Services, Lumen MPLS/IP VPN, and Lumen Voice Complete.

With Lumen, the Buccaneers unified connectivity across global sites, improved visibility into network performance, and reduced downtime and maintenance complexity. The solution delivered more reliable service for fans, coaches, and players, increased ROI through lower costs and better services, and gave the team the scalable infrastructure and 24/7 support needed to handle high-bandwidth periods at Raymond James Stadium and the AdventHealth Training Facility.
