To meet the telecommunication demands of the FIFA World Cup™, a leading international service provider partnered with Accedian to ensure the network carrying mobile, data and broadcast-media delivers exceptional quality of service (QoS) throughout the event. 

The World Cup network connects 12 stadiums, airports, press centers and other key venues, providing global access through transmission hubs in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.  To ensure peak network performance from the start, each link was verified before the games began using Accedian solutions' service activation test functionality. 

The same Accedian platform now concurrently monitors the performance of each service sharing inter-site connections.  Ultra-precise, continuous measurements immediately detect even slight performance variations affecting 3G & LTE mobile, broadcast, Internet and data traffic, ensuring each service offers consistent quality under demanding conditions.

"Our team understands the impact high-density network use can have on service quality, and deployed our solutions nationwide to establish complete QoS visibility across all sites," said Patrick Ostiguy, President & CEO of Accedian Networks, "Whether you are here sharing videos of great moments from your smart phone, or watching live from across the globe, our team is committed to connecting you to the action over the most reliable network in Brazil."
