Case Study: Oakland Arena achieves reliable IPTV and digital signage with VITEC

Oakland Arena eliminates 10% downtime with VITEC

Oakland Arena, a historic multi-purpose venue in Northern California, faced significant reliability issues with its outdated digital signage system from the early 2000s. The legacy system suffered from approximately 10% downtime across its 600 screens, requiring constant troubleshooting and making content updates a major operational challenge. The arena sought a modern, reliable solution and chose to partner with VITEC for its IPTV and Digital Signage platform.

VITEC implemented its solution, including EP4 end-points, in a carefully phased installation that did not disrupt ongoing events. The new system provided 100% reliability, eliminating the previous downtime and saving the operations team several hours per week in troubleshooting. The VITEC platform also enabled dynamic content updates and added IPTV functionality, enhancing the guest experience with high-resolution content and a TV guide, and providing a scalable foundation for future expansion.
