SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - July 13, 2016) - For sports as well as music, performance is the name of the game at Denver's Pepsi Center -- fans expect nothing less than a high quality experience. So when world-renowned stars pack the arena this summer, the performance of the technology behind the scenes must rise to the occasion. Now, equipped with Avaya Fabric networking and Wi-fi technologies, the venue won't disappoint.

The new Avaya network multi-tasks with ease, underpinning a wide variety of operations such as IP video feeds, video surveillance, vendor concessions as well as the tablets used by coaches for the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche or Colorado Mammoth sports teams that call Pepsi Center home.

But, first and foremost, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, owners of Pepsi Center, wanted a winning fan experience like none other, embracing social media to tighten and extend the front row experience throughout the arena and beyond. The venue's latest innovations capture real-time social media posts and share them on the new Avaya Fan Engagement Wall that's accessible both within the arena and with those following online.

Pepsi Center's new Avaya fan engagement experience complements its state-of-the-art Executive Business Center, which is already equipped with Avaya technologies. The latest enhancements include:

• A brand new fan engagement wall: fans in the arena are drawn in by a new kind of digital experience that extends the real-time fervor across the arena and to friends and family at home. The wall shares the most popular posts from Twitter and Instagram, allowing fans to see their special moments shared in real-time.
• A flexible, secure network that provides a world-class connected experience, ensuring that everything runs smoothly for fans and staff every day. The Avaya Fabric Connect network delivers reliable, high-capacity, secure access and unmatched multicast video scalability to support onsite cameras and streaming.
