Premiership Rugby club, Bath Rugby, and Truespeed Communications, the Bath based broadband provider, have announced a multi-year partnership deal that enhances the fan experience by providing improved Wi-Fi and connectivity in the Fan Village at The Rec, the iconic home of Bath Rugby.
With Bath Rugby’s enhanced full fibre connectivity and the additional Wi-Fi points from Truespeed, Bath Rugby fans can enjoy speeds of up to 300 Mbps in the Fan Village. To deliver this experience, Bath Rugby and Truespeed have upgraded the connectivity to the stadium and installed an additional wireless network in the Fan Village to ensure seamless Wi-Fi.
Chief Executive at Bath Rugby, Tarquin McDonald says describes the new partnership as “an investment and improvement in our stadium infrastructure to enhance the experience of Bath Rugby fans and visitors at The Rec. This upgrade will introduce Wi-Fi to the Fan Village and ensure that Bath Rugby fans, visitors and vendors benefit from the improved connectivity in the area. It is exciting to collaborate with another Bath based organisation with high ambitions to improve and inspire the communities we operate in”.
James Lowther, Chief Executive at Truespeed tell us, “Truespeed is excited to launch our new multi-year partnership with Bath Rugby. As a company with strong local roots, Truespeed are proud to be upgrading the broadband infrastructure of the South West. This partnership with the much-loved Bath Rugby team extends the power of our ultrafast full fibre network to dramatically improve the Fan Village experience at The Rec.”
As part of the deal, Bath Rugby and Truespeed will collaborate on community outreach programmes in the South West. Truespeed’s Community Connections programme already extends to over 150 schools and community institutions and the newly announced partnership between these Bath based institutions aims to extend the scope and impact of the community outreach together.
