2021年5月10日 - 9:30PM
Oak View Group (OVG) is partnering with Verizon to bring the power
of 5G Ultra Wideband to select world-class OVG venues and give
these arenas the ability to utilize next gen solutions to innovate
public safety, access, concessions, crowd management and immersive
fan experiences. The multi-year partnership with OVG makes Verizon
the exclusive 5G and wireless partner to three OVG arenas,
including New York UBS Arena, Seattle Climate Pledge Arena and
Coachella Valley Arena.
UBS Arena, new home of the NHL’s New York Islanders, Climate
Pledge Arena, home to NHL’s latest expansion team the Seattle
Kraken, as well as the WNBA’s Storm, and Coachella Valley Arena,
home to future AHL Palm Springs team, will harness Verizon 5G
technology, as well as the Distributed Antenna System (DAS) and
Converged Network Services (CNS) providing voice, data and wifi
services. These will enhance the fan experience utilizing the power
of the 5G network.
“The Verizon 5G platform is changing the way
that fans experience live events and venues operate,” said Yvette
Martinez-Rea, Vice President of Sponsorships and Partnerships,
Verizon. “Working with Oak View Group as a strategic technology
partner will enhance the in-arena experience for years to
come.”
“OVG venues are setting the new standard for
Arenas globally. We are committed to innovation and redefining the
fan experience across music, sports and live entertainment,” said
Tim Leiweke, CEO, Oak View Group. “Welcoming Verizon as a founding
partner is key to achieving this and we look forward to a long-term
partnership.”
The Verizon Lounge at Climate Pledge Arena, where
Verizon will sponsor arena concerts and is the presenting sponsor
of shows, and the Verizon Lounge at UBS Arena, will host private
members for an intimate and elegant experience.
UBS Arena, Climate Pledge Arena and Coachella
Valley Arena are three of the new locations added to the growing
list of stadiums and arenas with Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband
network. Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband is available in parts of more
than 70 cities, 11 airports, and 50+ stadiums and arenas. Customers
can now experience ultra-fast wireless speeds, up to 4 Gbps in some
places under ideal circumstances, giving them the potential to
download and stream movies and TV shows in seconds, video chat and
collaborate on the go in near real time, and take advantage of new
immersive customer experiences never before available wirelessly.
Verizon’s 5G Nationwide is available to more than 230 million
people in over 2,700 cities.
The company is a signatory of The Climate Pledge,
for which the Seattle arena is named. The Climate Pledge is a
community of currently over 100 companies and organizations,
initiated by Amazon, working together to combat the climate crisis,
by committing to reach net zero carbon by 2040. Verizon recently
issued a second $1 billion green bond to invest in innovative
solutions to accelerate the company’s sustainability efforts.
Verizon’s customer loyalty rewards program, Verizon
Up, will offer members exclusive access at OVG arenas such as VIP
entrance access, complimentary food and beverage, merchandise
credit, and exclusive player photo opportunities.
