Case Study: Oakland Arena achieves 10x faster, more reliable fan connectivity with RUCKUS Networks

Oakland Arena modernizes network in 13 days with RUCKUS Networks

Oakland Arena faced the challenge of modernizing its outdated network infrastructure to support a tenfold increase in fan density following its shift to a concert venue. Its legacy system caused high latency and frequent disconnects, threatening the fan experience and operations during sold-out events. The arena partnered with RUCKUS Networks, deploying RUCKUS T670SN Wi-Fi 7 Access Points and ICX switches to address these high-density demands.

The solution, engineered with partner Fortis Solutions, involved a full network refresh completed in just 13 days without disrupting events. RUCKUS Networks' technology provided faster, reliable connectivity. The results included handling 8.22 TB of traffic during a concert stress test, supporting nearly 10k concurrent devices, and achieving high upload speeds. The deployment created a scalable foundation, protected revenue, and ensured network reliability for the next decade.
