Welcome to Stadium Tech Report, to go-to publication for the stadium technology marketplace.
Stadium Tech Report, which was started by editor Paul Kapustka at Mobile Sports Report in March 2014 as a quarterly publication, has been a resounding success among the stadium technology professional audience. With its focus on in-depth, technically savvy and business-conscious profiles of existing stadium technology deployments, “STR” has become the go-to publication for the stadium tech marketplace.
The markets and technologies we now cover include:
Stadium Wi-Fi
Stadium cellular (5G and DAS)
Stadium converged network and compute
Stadium design and build
Concessions technology
Building management systems
Stadium entry/security
Safety technology (cameras, cleaning, Covid-19)
Digital display and display management
Our main focus is technology deployments at all major U.S. professional sports venues, and all U.S. college and university venues. While we will still continue to produce our “big issues” of the Stadium Tech Report with six issues planned for 2021, we will also expand our daily digital presence with more news, analysis and interaction with subject-matter experts via video and audio engagement.

How hyper-directional wi-fi unlocks more stadium capacity
Hyper-directional Wi-Fi uses tightly focused signals to isolate seating sections, allowing the same channels to be reused more aggressively across the stadium bowl. For a stadium owner, the wireless goal is pretty simple: make sure tens of thousands of phones work when the building is full. That requires capacity. Much of the progress in wireless capacity has come packaged as new generations of technology: more spectrum, more efficient use of that spectrum, and increasingly capable radios.
Wi-Fi still matters: Lessons in high-density venue connectivity
I spend a lot of time thinking about wireless performance in crowded venues. Usually, I am doing it because someone has asked me to evaluate a network, troubleshoot a problem or explain why a design behaves differently when tens of thousands of people arrive. Recently, I found myself conducting an unplanned field test while attending a major outdoor sporting event. I was there on a day off, my wife was meeting me later, and I had no intention of thinking about wireless infrastructure.

The ever-loyal fans of the Buffalo Bills football team are in for some game-day rewards this season thanks to the technology upgrades to the fan experience coming at the new Highmark Stadium. Shaun Handley, IT Infrastructure Project Director for the Buffalo Bills, joins us on the Stadium Tech Report podcast to outline the technology upgrades visitors will enjoy when they visit the new Highmark Stadium during the 2026 NFL football season.
Why sports and entertainment venues need to deliver cellular connectivity
Over decades in the wireless business, one thing has become clear: good cell service has become a requirement for stadiums and venues, not a nice to have. At the same time, the large wireless carriers have become progressively less likely to fund cellular installations in venues. As more responsibility shifts to owners, cellular connectivity is becoming a venue investment and not simply a carrier engineering project.

Galtronics completes acquisition of Kaelus, expanding RF portfolio for wireless networks and stadiums
Galtronics has completed its acquisition of Kaelus AB, a move the company says will create a broader end-to-end RF portfolio for wireless network deployments. Galtronics is best known in the venue market for antenna products, including multibeam and stadium antennas designed to support dense cellular environments. Kaelus adds products that sit earlier in the signal path, including equipment used to combine, filter, condition and test radio-frequency signals before they reach antennas.
The Converged Network Effect
The network is one part of stadium technology nobody buys a ticket to see. Yet it may be the technology that determines whether everything else in the building was worth the price of admission. That hidden value is hard to measure because the network usually disappears behind the systems it supports.
