TWO-WAY RADIOS FOR SPORTS VENUES & STADIUMS

From football to boxing, live music to circus acts, stadiums across the world host millions of people each year.

These stadiums, previously only used for sporting events, have quickly become “complete” entertainment venues, offering everything from food and drink to their own conference centres. Just look at Tottenham Hotspur’s new stadium!

But while the transformation and expansion of stadiums bodes well for visitors, they have created a number of additional operational challenges.

Security, capacity, facilities management and – perhaps most crucially – communication are put under greater strain. Without the right infrastructure that delivers clear and immediate communication, problems can quickly spiral out of control.

WHY YOU NEED EFFECTIVE TWO-WAY RADIOS IN SPORTING ARENAS

Two-way radios are an indispensable asset in sports stadia of all sizes, helping to deliver smooth operations and enhance the overall experience for genuine supporters.

While most sports fans attend games or matches with the best intentions in mind, unfortunately problems do occur which necessitate a rapid response from stewards, officials, and security staff, including:

  • Poor crowd management, including overcrowding and stampedes that pose extreme risks to fan safety.
  • Violence and disorderfrom unruly spectators or organised criminals.
  • Medical emergencies, such as injuries, cardiac events, or breathing difficulties.
  • Adverse weather conditionswhich can put spectators and players in danger.
  • Terrorism or security threatsthat necessitate a robust and rapid response to protect lives.
  • Fire hazardsin or near the stadium which requires the emergency evacuation of large numbers of people.
  • Theft of personal possessions or sexual or physical assaultscarried out in densely packed areas.
  • Counterfeit tickets and merchandisewhich damages revenues and the supporter experience.
  • Technology failuresaffecting floodlights, scoreboards, monitors, referee communications, or Video Assistant Referee equipment.
  • Traffic congestion and parking violationsin and around the ground.
