Cisco offers live video to mobile devices in sports and entertainment venues

Feb 04, 2013 (TELECOMWORLDWIRE via COMTEX) -- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) has introduced Cisco StadiumVision Mobile, a solution that delivers live video to fans' mobile devices to create an entirely new experience in sports and entertainment venues.

The solution uses an intelligent and high-density Cisco Connected Stadium Wi-Fi network to bring high-quality video straight to the latest smartphones and tablets with minimal delay. Global sports and entertainment leaders the Brooklyn Nets (Barclays Center), Real Madrid (Estadio Santiago Bernabeu) and Sporting Kansas City (Sporting Park) are the first to be implementing StadiumVision Mobile in their venues.

When integrated with an in-venue app, the solution delivers live video and data feeds with minimal delay and offers multiple channels of unique content such as a replay channel, an alternate-view channel (a view of the bench during timeouts), and a data channel (for stats, trivia contests and multi-player games). These options create a more interactive and personalized experience and open business opportunities for the venue and teams through targeted advertising, sponsorship activations, promotions, branding and more. The solution was developed with an open interface to meet custom software requirements and seamlessly integrate with in-venue apps.
