Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, announced that Maryland Jockey Club has deployed Aruba’s Gigabit Wi-Fi network at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland for Preakness Stakes events.
The network, using Aruba wired, wireless and software solutions, will cover Pimlico’s 140-acre race course, including the infield, the six-story grandstand building, and the Stronach owner’s chalet.
The network, utilizing Aruba’s ClearPass security solutions, will provide secure connectivity to various other groups at the events including employees, horsemen, photographers, media, ticketing, parking, betting and Point of Sale for over 100 concessionaires.
“Superior Wi-Fi is expected by our attendees as they rely on their mobile devices not only for connectivity, but also for multiple activities including buying concessions and souvenirs, placing bets, and social media interaction,” said Sal Sinatra, president, Maryland Jockey Club.
