HPE also announced a Miami HEAT project to upgrade Kaseya Center’s connectivity.Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, HPEHPE Stock Advances as Arena Upgrades ExpandHPE will overhaul wireless access and supporting wired systems ahead of the 2026–27 NBA season. For the Miami HEAT, the project forms part of broader improvements to the venue’s digital infrastructure. These improvements target fan access, staff communication, and systems that support daily arena operations.Kaseya Center hosts basketball games, concerts, and other events that attract large crowds. Heavy device use can strain wireless networks, especially where spectators sit close together. The HEAT initially focused on improving coverage in crowded seating sections, including the lower bowl.However, a technical review showed that faster wireless access also required upgrades to existing wired equipment. As a result, the project expanded to address network switching and power delivery. The broader scope will help the venue handle modern access points and future digital services.Wi-Fi 7 Upgrade Targets High-Density ConnectivityUnder the plan, HPE will install Aruba indoor and outdoor wireless access points across the site. Campus gateways will manage traffic, while HPE Juniper switches will supply the required bandwidth and capacity. Together, the equipment will establish Wi-Fi 7 connectivity for fans and staff.Wi-Fi 7 supports greater network capacity in busy locations with large numbers of connected devices. At Kaseya Center, the upgrade targets reliable performance during games and other major events. It also aims to limit connection problems in critical seating areas and operational spaces.HPE will provide specialized network monitoring support during five live events. Those sessions will test network behavior under real crowds and changing traffic conditions. Engineers can then tune performance using event data rather than relying only on initial tests.HPE Adds Automated Network ManagementHPE plans to use AI-assisted network tools to identify faults and improve performance. Its automation can simplify troubleshooting and reduce manual work for arena technology teams. This approach will support network operations as demand changes across different event schedules.AT&T will provide communication services for the updated network environment. CSPi Technology Solutions will supply implementation support and ongoing managed IT services. These roles will connect the hardware deployment with its practical operation after installation.HPE expects to finish the wireless rollout before the new NBA season starts. The company will continue switching upgrades across the arena in phases. For HPE, the agreement extends its networking work into another high-traffic entertainment setting.
