When you think about Real Madrid, you instantly think about legends, greatness, and iconic moments. When you think about their home, the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u Stadium, you immediately think about the 80,000+ fans, electrifying atmosphere, and sheer presence of the unique structure.<\/p>\n

In the early 2000\u2019s, Real Madrid, and it\u2019s CIO Enrique Uriel, had a vision of creating the \u201cUltimate Bernab\u00e9u,\u201d which would deliver a fan experience unlike any other at the time, essentially transforming the club\u2019s home stadium into one of the safest, most connected venues in all of sports. The plan was audacious because video distribution and Wi-Fi technology were still in the early adoption phase, but Real Madrid turned to Cisco and over the course of a few years, the venue had unequivocally transformed into one of the most connected in the sports industry.<\/p>\n

Fast-forward to present day and that boundary-pushing mentality remains, as the club sits on the verge of another major stadium renovation that will feature key Cisco technology, including a Software Defined-Access (SDA) network<\/a>, Wi-Fi 6 and IP Fabric for Media.<\/p>\n
