Oak View Group has selected Cisco as its official technology partner to standardize network infrastructure across its portfolio of live entertainment venues. The partnership will see Cisco technology deployed at five major arenas to support live event operations and guest experiences.
Standardizing on a single vendor across multiple high-capacity venues reduces technical debt and simplifies the management of complex live streaming and broadcast workflows. For the streaming ecosystem, this move ensures that the underlying transport layer for live event data remains stable as venues increasingly rely on high-bandwidth connectivity for real-time fan engagement and remote production. By consolidating infrastructure under Cisco, Oak View Group creates a predictable environment for third-party media partners and internal operations alike. Watch for whether this standardization leads to a broader rollout across OVG’s global portfolio of managed properties.
The shift toward IP-based software workflows is becoming a critical requirement for modern venues looking to support high-density media distribution. Organizations that fail to address these needs often find that broadcasters risk technical debt by building software-defined production architectures on SaaS. As operators look to optimize these environments, NVIDIA DOCA GPUNetIO unification is emerging as a key method to remove CPU bottlenecks for real-time streaming.
Oak View Group has named Cisco its official technology partner to standardize network infrastructure across five major live entertainment venues. This partnership aims to improve operational reliability and security. By consolidating systems under one vendor, the group creates a predictable environment for live event operations, fan engagement, and remote production workflows.
The partnership includes the Moody Center, Acrisure Arena, Climate Pledge Arena, UBS Arena, and CFG Bank Arena.
The goal is to establish a unified, standardized network infrastructure across the five venues to improve operational reliability, security, and the overall guest experience.
New hardware deployments are scheduled for the Moody Center and Acrisure Arena, while existing systems at the other three venues will be integrated into the new standardized framework.
Standardization reduces technical debt and simplifies the management of complex live streaming and broadcast workflows, ensuring a stable transport layer for high-bandwidth connectivity.
