7 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call Legacy networks are no longer an efficient or cost effective operating model. Legacy stadium network designs rely on multiple separate networks to deliver services to your fans Legacy networks rely heavily on copper and coax cabling, requiring frequent rip and replace upgrades as technologies change Legacy networks take up substantial space for wiring closets due to the distance limitations of copper cabling Legacy networks also require substantial power and cooling in the wiring closets for stacks of network electronics
8 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call IBM has developed the IBM Smarter Stadium network which uses far less space and costs 30% less than a legacy copper/coax based network architecture. The IBM Smarter Stadium network uses a single converged fiber network to deliver all services The IBM Smarter Stadium network combines PON and DAS onto a single fiber infrastructure The IBM Smarter Stadium network costs less, requires far less space, and uses far less power can cooling than legacy networks PON OLT’s DAS Head End Core Router/Switch Fiber Patch PON splitters Power Injectors Fiber Termination DAS Remote Unit PON ONT’s
9 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call The IBM Smarter Stadium Network uses Passive Optical LAN (PON) technology which costs 30% less than a legacy switched network architecture. PON provides LAN access throughout your stadium for Point of Sale, Office Space, Digital Media Distribution, Wi-Fi access points PON is not distance constrained like legacy copper based networks PON utilizes a fiber based cabling plant instead of copper saving you money and space –less cabling, less cable trays, lower material and installation costs, fewer wiring closets PON does not require special power and cooling in your wiring closets like legacy switched networks do, saving you substantial operational costs Traditional LAN Architecture vs. Passive Optical LAN Architecture
10 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call Passive Optical LAN technology requires far fewer wiring closets than legacy switched networks leaving you space for seating, concessions, or retail. The Atlanta Falcons new stadium design included a legacy switched network design which required over 70 IDF’s due the the distance limitations of copper cabling The fiber based IBM solution for the Falcons reduced the number of IDF’s required to less than 30, freeing up valuable space This space is now available to be used for additional seating, concessions, and retail space generating additional revenues for the team IBM Smarter Network IDF Legacy IDF
11 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call Passive Optical LAN technology also requires dramatically less cabling saving you money on material and installation costs. Legacy copper based network architectures require far more cabling due to the distance limitations of copper cabling In an IBM Smarter Stadium the cabling is primarily fiber based which requires far less cabling and space than legacy switched based designs which rely heavily on copper cabling This 36” cable tray was installed for a legacy copper design. Only 10” of the tray was used after the client decided to switch to the IBM Smarter Stadium Network instead of the originally planned legacy copper based design. 10” actual space used for the IBM Solution 36” cable tray space that was planned for a legacy copper network
12 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call The IBM Smarter Stadium Network provides substantial savings over legacy copper based network architectures. Lower electronics cost: up to 70% Lower power consumption: up to 80% Lower space consumption: up to 90% Lower cable cost: up to 60% (fiber vs. copper) Lower cabling installation cost: up to 60% Lower technical support costs: up to 75% Lower annual O&M costs: up to 30% Smarter Stadium Network Legacy Copper Network Smarter Stadium Network Legacy Copper Network
13 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call The IBM Smarter Stadium Network includes a fiber based Distributed Antenna System for 5 bar cellular coverage and a world class fan experience. The IBM Smarter Stadium Network leverages the same fiber infrastructure as the PON allowing for easy upgrades without having to rip and replace your cabling plant –When a wireless carrier introduces a new frequency, simply swap out a card in the remote access units Advanced features such as capacity steering allow you to shift cellular capacity to different areas of your venue as fans move around –Before the game you can shift your cellular capacity to outdoor tail gate areas –When the game starts, you can shift your cellular capacity back inside your stadium…..Smarter! DAS Head End Remote Zone Location
14 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call The IBM Smarter Stadium Network provides stadium grade HD Wi-Fi coverage ensuring a world class fan experience. The IBM Smarter Stadium Network provides pervasive HD Wi-Fi coverage throughout all parts of your stadium (bowl, concessions, retail, restrooms, office space) AC technology provides high capacity and throughput Multiple Wi-Fi manufacturers supported Under seat mounting options available Under Seat Access Point Enclosure HD Wi-Fi Coverage Model
15 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call The Smarter Stadium Network allows you to own the DAS infrastructure while charging for access to your system. The IBM Smarter Stadium Network is a neutral host DAS solution that you own versus a third party owning the system IBM will help you negotiate lease agreements with the wireless carriers. These lease agreements typically include up front and recurring charges to the wireless carriers which help offset the cost of the system The wireless carriers prefer this model to other long term leasing models available in the marketplace as they buy only the capacity they need on the system which saves them money IBM Global Financing can also help you turn up-front capital costs into affordable payments, matching cost outlays with expected project benefits Cellular Coverage Model at Texas AM Kyle Field
16 North America IOT 1Q All Manager and Executive Call Texas A&M chose the IBM Smarter Stadium Network over a legacy network design for the newly renovated Kyle Field. The IBM solution allows Texas A&M to provide pervasive LAN, Wi-Fi, and Cellular coverage for over 102,000 Aggies fans The IBM solution costs less than the legacy switched network and DAS solutions Texas A&M was considering Texas A&M leveraged IBM’s relationships with the wireless carriers to negotiate lease agreements which helped offset the cost of the system report-corning-ibm-bringing-fiber-based-wi-fi-and-das-to- texas-ams-kyle-field/ report-corning-ibm-bringing-fiber-based-wi-fi-and-das-to- texas-ams-kyle-field/
