  • Network in a Box is a portable private network prototype that Verizon is currently testing at sports events.
  • The solution offers fast, reliable, and secure connectivity for gameplay and media operations.
  • Verizon can scale the network to support up to 50 cellular radios per box.

Verizon aims to address the network connectivity problems we often face at large-scale events with a portable private network dubbed ‘Network in a Box.’ The solution offers a secure and reliable private network for up to 50 cellular radios per box, and Verizon has already started testing a prototype at sports events.

Verizon has announced that it successfully deployed the prototype Network in a Box at the UFL Championship game in St. Louis, Missouri, last week and has shipped similar portable networks for upcoming sports events in Sao Paulo, London, and Munich.
