The New Jersey Devils, Prudential Center, and Verizon announced
today a multi-year extension of their partnership featuring new and
innovative technology for wireless connectivity and retail
convenience to enhance the fan experience and improve arena
operations.
Through this extended partnership, Verizon is deploying Verizon
5G Ultra Wideband, Verizon Private 5G Network and Wi-Fi 6/6E to
give Prudential Center the ability to host a wide range of
large-scale events, concerts and games with a more efficient and
reliable network and fast connectivity. The improved wireless
connectivity will also change the way fans experience games and
live events in the arena and through the Devils and Prudential
Center Mobile App, Powered by Verizon.
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Verizon, a New
Jersey-based company, and lay the foundation for the way fans view
and experience Devils home games and other events at Prudential
Center,” said Sasha Puric, Chief Technology Officer, HBSE.
“Providing reliable and efficient wireless connectivity is at the
forefront of our operational needs and, with Verizon, we can now
provide that enhancement to our fans, employees, partners, and
events.”
Combining the power of 5G with computer vision technology from
AiFi, the Prudential Center is also unveiling new cashierless
checkout stores for a streamlined food and beverage experience in
the arena. Working with Prudential Center hospitality partner Levy,
the Pepsi Grab N Go cashierless checkout stores located throughout
the arena were designed to provide fans with a low-friction way to
purchase food and drinks. One Pepsi Grab N Go opened during the
2023-24 season, the first in New Jersey to offer packaged beer,
with transaction times under one minute.
“The New Jersey Devils and Prudential Center have been true
partners in every sense of the word, working alongside Verizon and
the NHL to test, ideate and iterate in order to bring new and
innovative solutions to the sport,” said Jonathan Nikols, SVP,
Global Enterprise Americas, Verizon Business. “The learnings we’ve
all come away with will help to transform the way hockey is both
experienced and played, and I look forward to seeing all that’s
made possible through the power of 5G and joint collaboration.”
As the Official 5G Network of the National Hockey League (NHL),
Verizon already successfully piloted a Verizon Private 5G Wireless
Network in the Prudential Center, enabling the use of
transformative business solutions such as wireless Officials’ iPads
for replay review, video coaching, and coach/video coach
communications. The multi-year extension of this partnership
between the two New Jersey-based companies is part of a continual
rollout of technological innovations to come throughout the
year.
