Red Sox employ Bluesocket technology
Bluesocket Inc., a Burlington provider of trusted wireless access and enterprise mobility, today announced that the Boston Red Sox deployed its technology during the playoff season.
According to Bluesocket, it provided secure guest access, additional network bandwidth, and reliable wireless coverage to members of the media and facility-operations personnel during the playoffs.
With a Bluesocket solution in place, media members at Fenway registered through a Red Sox branded Web portal, allowing them to instantly connect to the Internet; this network access, in conjunction with bandwidth management capabilities, enabled journalists and photographers to file stories and upload digital photographs of game action in real-time, giving media outlets and fans immediate access to scores, player stats, commentary, and analysis, Bluesocket said.
