    Super Bowl XLV: The technology behind the event

    via itworld.com

    To give you an idea of the scope of the IT infrastructure here, there are 884 Cisco wireless access points (AP) scattered around, and more than 70 different wiring closets containing more than 40,000 wired ports. There are several different wireless networks for staff, press, guests and attendees that segregate their traffic. There is more than 8 million feet of Ethernet cabling, and 260 miles of fiber to support all the connections, and more than 100T-bytes of data storage too. Everything operates on a single network, including the point-of-sale terminals at the concession stands, 185 security cameras and access control doors, entrance ticketing stations, the scoreboards, and the public Wifi network as well as the more prosaic business computing needs of the staff. There is AT&T Wifi throughout the place, and enough cellular horsepower to support a hundred thousand individual phone conversations and video uploads concurrently.
