At about the halfway point for the football season, AT&T said it has seen 37 terabytes of traffic on its stadium wireless networks so far, for both college and professional games combined.
If the total tonnage doesn’t mean that much to you, consider a related data point that should give stadium network managers pause: According to AT&T, so far this year it has seen 85 percent more data used at college games and 90 percent more data used at pro games as compared to last year. If you’re wondering why stadiums are already upgrading networks they installed just a few years ago, the data growth is likely the biggest cause. And there’s still no end in sight to the upward usage curve. Even though these numbers represent only AT&T customer traffic on AT&T stadium DAS installations, the totals and the growth are still pretty staggering.
AT&T also enclosed some weekly highlights for pro and college stadiums, enclosed below.
