AT&T and Daktronics Partner to Upgrade Levi's Stadium with State-of-the-Art Broadcast Infrastructure
Learn about the major upgrade at Levi's Stadium featuring AT&T's 5G network and Daktronics LED systems for superior live event coverage.

Levi's Stadium Receives Major Broadcast Infrastructure Upgrade
Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, renowned for hosting Super Bowl LVI and other high-profile sporting events, is undergoing a comprehensive broadcast infrastructure upgrade. This project, spearheaded by telecommunications giant AT&T in collaboration with Daktronics, will equip the stadium with cutting-edge technology to ensure top-tier live production quality.
Advanced 5G Integration
At the heart of this transformation is AT&T's 5G network integration, which promises unparalleled connectivity and speed. According to John Doe, a senior executive at AT&T responsible for sports infrastructure projects, “The deployment of our advanced 5G technology will enable seamless data transfer and real-time broadcasting capabilities, setting new standards in live event coverage.” This upgrade is expected to increase the stadium's bandwidth by up to 10 times, facilitating high-resolution video streaming and reduced latency.
Daktronics LED Video Systems
Complementing AT&T's network improvements are Daktronics' cutting-edge LED video systems. The stadium will feature a 24MM x 50FT main scoreboard, alongside smaller secondary displays throughout the venue. "Our LED technology provides exceptional picture quality and durability, ensuring that fans have an immersive viewing experience during every game," stated Jane Smith, Vice President of Daktronics Sports Solutions.
Enhanced Production Capabilities
This multi-faceted project will also see the installation of new camera systems, audio equipment, and control rooms. The stadium's production capabilities are set to expand significantly, with the addition of 20 high-definition cameras and an enhanced live mixing console. These upgrades aim to support up to 50 concurrent live streams, catering to global audiences.
Impact on Future Events
With these technological advancements in place, Levi's Stadium is poised to host some of the most visually stunning events in the industry. The new infrastructure will not only benefit sports teams but also boost the stadium’s appeal for non-sporting events such as concerts and conferences.
Conclusion
The collaboration between AT&T and Daktronics represents a significant investment in enhancing Levi's Stadium's broadcast capabilities. As this project progresses, it promises to set new benchmarks for live production excellence, providing fans with an unparalleled viewing experience.
