Everton have announced Free WiFi connectivity for all 52,769 fans at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Fans will have an option of connecting to a free SSID WiFi network, or using their mobile phone network, thanks to a DAS (Distributed Antenna System) that has been installed to cover the stadium site, which will allow uninterrupted mobile phone coverage across the three biggest mobile network providers – EE, O2 and Vodafone.
Both the WiFi and DAS will be switched on at the upcoming pre-season friendly against AS Roma, when a capacity 52,769 crowd will be in attendance. The DAS works across both 4G and 5G networks, irrespective of provider (Vodafone*, EE and O2).
Phil Davies, Director of Technology at Everton, said: “As a Club, we recognise that connectivity is a key component of a matchday.
“At Goodison, and at many other large capacity stadiums, there can be a frustration at the lack, or loss of signal.
“The two systems we are introducing at Hill Dickinson Stadium aim to eliminate this problem and provide seamless connectivity for all visitors.
“We’ve put a great deal of thought, expense and effort into ensuring the stadium is one of the best connected in the country and we look forward to supporters enjoying this improved access.”
