Strong cell signal is imperative, even with tens of thousands of fans in your venue. We’ll work to get the best value for the asset you have – your venue.
Building a robust and scalable wired Local Area Network is a critical component of any venue. Dozens of related services rely on it, technology revolves around it, and you can't operate a modern stadium without it.
Wi-Fi is no longer a wishlist item, but an expectation and the basis for future entertainment. A robust, easily accessible Wi-Fi system is essential for providing a connected experience to your guests.
VoIP is a critical system in case of emergency or for 'Back of House' operations. We build hardware agnostic VoIP systems around your venue needs.
Designing a robust, future-ready network requires many steps. Game Day Technologies has mastered this process through 20 years of building secure enterprise-grade networks with a variety of hardware partners.
We work with the Owner to determine the best product or solution to meet the unique needs of each venue.
Focus on your game while we focus on the technology.
We'll staff your events (remotely or on-site), with the experts needed to operate every aspect of your infrastructure, maintaining direct lines of contact with your operations team, concessions, ticketing, video production, security, and any other team you have.
Plus we'll handle day-to-day management of the tech, manage warranties, and provide 24x7x365 NOC monitoring and our Game Day Dashboard.
A dozen systems with no quick answers.
Knowing where and when to look for your venue's IT data has long been a hassle; missing data, complicated to locate, and nearly impossible for the Owner or Executive to understand.
From the data center to the ticket scanner, POS traffic to device type on your network, the Game Day Dashboard® brings it all together onto a single pane of glass. High level views with granular insight enable ownership and operations staff to keep sight of every aspect of your venue's network.
Atomic Monitoring is an IT administrator’s best friend. From simple up/down checks to advanced synthetic checks, Atomic Monitoring provides the uptime (and sleep) you deserve.
Then we took it one step further and built the Game Day Dashboard™ on top of it.
Atomic Data and MNUFC have built a true partnership based on nearly a decade of proven success. Success that preceded the club's entry into MLS and will continue for many years to come.
