In support of the WM Phoenix Open, Sparro will deploy two Ericsson Private Cellular networks to facilitate robust communication for WM executives, VIP customers, and WM operations. The first network will support the WM command center, covering holes 13 and 14, while the second network will be strategically placed in the high-density area near holes 16-18, covering the VIP Suites and Bay Club, where concerts and other activities will take place. Our partnership with Ericsson Enterprise Wireless will ensure that wireless connectivity is powered effectively for WM operations and VIP suites.

Sparro’s deployment includes advanced CBRS 5G private cellular networks, ensuring reliable communication throughout the event. We will also implement IoT sensors and GPS tracking devices for golf carts through Verizon Connect, enhancing operational efficiency and safety for materials on site.

Jason Wickam, General Manager and Vice President of Sparro, stated, “Our support of the WM Phoenix Open exemplifies our dedication to delivering top-tier connectivity solutions. By deploying advanced private cellular networks, we are ensuring robust communication and operational efficiency throughout the event.
