Canadian sports technology specialist Stadium Digital has integrated Verizon Digital Media Services’ Uplynk Video Streaming service into its All Access Platform.

By supporting the streaming of live and video-on-demand (VOD) sporting events, game-day highlights and other on-demand content, Uplynk allows Stadium Digital to ensure that its customer base of sports associations, leagues and teams across Canada can use high quality video content to enhance their connection with sports fans and partners.

“The essential element to attract, retain and increase fan engagement is not only captivating content but also reliable and superior streaming capabilities,” said Mark Silver, president at Stadium Digital. “We've chosen Verizon Digital Media Services for its demonstrated proficiency in making video content easily accessible to end users, regardless of their device.”

Stadium Digital's All Access Platform drives interactions for leagues and teams by providing fans with contests, exclusive content, fantasy, sponsor offers and game day redemptions experiences. The platform simultaneously generates essential behavioural data that supports ticket and concession sales, merchandise offers and partner activations.

“Sports leagues and teams use the innovative engagement platform developed by Stadium Digital to reach fans on a new level and to build ongoing relationships with them,” said Ralf Jacob, head of Digital Media Services platforms at Oath, Verizon Digital’s parent company. “We are elated to know that our award-winning Uplynk service now plays an integral role in enabling richer and more interactive experiences for sports fans around the world.”

The Uplynk Video Streaming service will next be used to stream Ticats TV Live coverage of the pregame, halftime and postgame Canadian Football League shows when the Hamilton Tiger-Cats face the Toronto Argonauts in the annual Labor Day Classic on Monday 4 September.
