Customer challenge
Known for hosting highly prestigious basketball matches, Sinan Erdem was ready to take the next steps to establish itself as an arena with an international presence. Stadium management wanted to enhance the fan experience while also increasing operational efficiency and opening up new revenue potential.
Stadium flexibility generates new revenue
Dazzling light and music shows give fans a unique experience while in the stadium, and LED pitch lighting ensures adherence to strict broadcasting requirements and flicker-free viewing at home. The new Interact Sports lighting management software allows remote programming of lighting configurations to give total flexibility of the stadium lighting, expanding the ability to host many different types of events. Interact Sports lighting asset management software also provides the venue management with real-time data on energy consumption and lighting performance.
