Case Study: Oak View Group delivers unmatched fan experiences with Verizon Business

Oak View Group disrupts venue industry to deliver unmatched fan experiences

Oak View Group, a venue management and event programming company, faced the challenge of integrating complex, modern technology like 5G, DAS, and converged networks into large arenas without losing control over their vision for a unique fan experience. They needed a single, reliable partner to avoid vendor fragmentation, especially while navigating pandemic-related construction delays and the unique demands of renovating historic buildings. They partnered with Verizon Business to implement a flexible technological foundation for their projects.

Verizon implemented its 5G Ultra Wideband, a neutral-host Distributed Antenna System (DAS), and Converged Network Services (CNS) to create a unified infrastructure for voice, data, security, and Wi-Fi across multiple arenas. This solution provided the resilient and adaptable connectivity needed to support everything from cashier-less retail and mobile point-of-sale systems to building operations, ensuring a seamless experience for all attendees. The partnership with Verizon allowed Oak View Group to successfully deliver technologically advanced, world-class venues like the Climate Pledge Arena and UBS Arena on schedule, creating unmatched fan experiences.
