Case Study: Leading Movie Theater Chain achieves integrated, high‑availability network and guest WiFi with Windstream Enterprise SD‑WAN and Secure WiFi

Theater chain casts award‑winning solutions

Leading Movie Theater Chain, a top‑grossing national exhibitor, faced fragmented networks from multiple providers, an underpowered 1.5 Mbps MPLS backbone, frequent downtime, and no guest WiFi to support a new point‑of‑sale app and marketing analytics. To modernize operations and improve the in‑theater experience, the customer engaged Windstream Enterprise for SD‑WAN Concierge, Secure WiFi, redundant access (cable/Ethernet/LTE) and Professional Services.

Windstream Enterprise provisioned SD‑WAN over the existing MPLS, added secondary broadband and LTE resiliency, and deployed Secure WiFi with on‑site Professional Services to install access points and cabling across the estate. The integrated solution delivered higher bandwidth, a nearly eliminated downtime profile and far fewer outages across 600+ locations, reduced network costs versus the prior MPLS model, and enabled guest ticketing and marketing analytics to improve the customer experience.
