The Fernando Buesa Arena is the first Interact Sports project undertaken for an indoor arena, including converting 100% of the pavilion’s lighting to LED and connecting via a standard wired connection.
Buesa Arena
Spain
“The old lighting system didn’t meet the sports teams’ requirements and so we had to change it. Customer satisfaction is everything.”
- Asier García, Head of Operations Baskonia – Alavés
Customer challenge
A pavilion like the Buesa Arena, which aims to host very high-end events, needs to live up to expectations in terms of lighting. It didn’t meet the minimum parameters required by the most important national and European basketball organizations, which denied the host club’s plans to organize prestigious matches and tournaments due to limited capabilities of the original lighting.
Solution
Shortly after the installation of LED lighting, connected via Interact Sports software, the venue was selected to host the final phase of the 2019 EuroLeague. The new lighting system also allowed the stadium to manage and control the lighting centrally for an exceptional before, during and after the main event.
