THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xirrus®, the only Wi-Fi Power Play in the industry, announced today the deployment of Xirrus high performance Wi-Fi Arrays at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California. Owned by Maloof Sports & Entertainment, ARCO Arena is a well-recognized and respected landmark in the Sacramento community and is home to the NBA’s Sacramento Kings. The facility seats up to 17,317 guests and caters to nearly 200 spectator events each year from ice shows to NBA games and even rodeos. To increase productivity and profitability of its concession sales, ARCO Arena upgraded its legacy access points to Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays, which provide a more reliable and cost-effective network across the arena to handle all PCI transactions.
“We first chose to use Wi-Fi to meet our requirements with the NBA with regards to providing the media with Internet access,” said John Rinehart, Senior Vice President of Business Operations for Maloof Sports & Entertainment. “We soon learned that by using Wi-Fi with our concessions network, we could better serve our customers as it allows us the flexibility and mobility that a traditional wired network lacks.”
Rinehart continued by explaining why Xirrus was the best choice for their facility, “We learned about Xirrus products from a consulting firm we brought in to assist in resolving coverage issues with our existing concessions network. We evaluated Xirrus products as well as competitors’ products for the best fit and found that Xirrus was the best solution for this application due to the ease of deployment. It was up and running within a few hours of deployment without any major issues. The Xirrus product integrated very well into our existing concessions network and we immediately saw the improvement in our ability to perform PCI transactions. We would definitely recommend Xirrus to anyone who needs a reliable, easy to manage network.”
