Comcast Business “Serves” up Next Generation Connectivity for the Arlen Specter US Squash Center
Preeminent squash facility and center of excellence readies for the future with game-changing network
Opened in 2021 and located in Philadelphia’s University City, the 76,000 square foot Specter Center is the home of US Squash and the world’s largest community squash center, providing world-class training resources to Team
The Specter Center chose Comcast Business to deploy a mix of wired and wireless technologies to meet all its needs, including a next-generation network with Enterprise Dedicated Internet (EDI), Business VoiceEdge cloud-based telecommunications, X1 for Business TV and Enterprise IoT solutions from MachineQ. The facility is also trialing a 5G private wireless network solution installed by Comcast Business that leverages CBRS technology from Comcast Business vendor, Highway9 Networks.
Private wireless networks offer wireless broadband speed and capacity with reliability and low latency, enabling sporting venues like the Specter Center to support their rapidly expanding ecosystem of connected devices. This includes connecting point-of-sales, fan experiences, access controls and more.
“With Comcast Business, we never need to ask, ‘Can our infrastructure handle that?’ because we know it can,” said
Together, these technologies enable the Specter Center to:
- Preserve the quality of courts and help protect the facility by monitoring changes in temperature, humidity and potential leaks that could negatively impact court conditions or damage IT, mechanical and electrical equipment.
- Simultaneously live stream every match from every court, so fans never miss a beat – whether it’s with low latency on the facility’s eight suspended 13-foot digital video walls or at home. Substantial bandwidth enables greater streaming/broadcasting uploads and downloads, while allowing flexibility for outside broadcast teams to easily set up within the space.
- Help athletes manage every aspect of their game with new technology that will allow any player to record and access their match or practice session through their player profile to analyze – and improve – their play.
“A next-generation facility like the Specter Center demands a next-generation network,” said
