ZEVA

Add capacity without adding antennas.

You're asked for more network every season, and every upgrade is a multi-year capital project that saturates on opening night. Zeva is a software overlay that makes the crowd itself the overflow layer, for every tenant and every event on your calendar, with nothing bolted to the building.

Written for general managers, directors of technology and operations leaders at stadiums, arenas, amphitheaters and convention centers.

  • Works for every tenant: teams, promoters, shows and conventions
  • Complementary to DAS, Wi-Fi and your carrier agreements
  • Licensed per venue, not per event

The capacity treadmill

Fixed infrastructure, rising demand and a peak that lasts twenty minutes.

  • Multi-year capex, single-night saturation

    Two years of preparation and 500+ antennas for one Super Bowl. The peak lasts twenty minutes and the asset is fixed.

  • Every tenant wants more

    Teams, promoters and conventions each bring their own app and their own peak. One infrastructure has to serve all of them.

  • Dead zones that aren't yours

    Parking lots, plazas and transit queues sit outside the DAS footprint but inside the guest experience.

  • Revenue leaks you can't see

    When ordering stalls, nobody files a ticket. The loss shows up as lower per-caps and longer lines.

What a venue gets

An overflow layer that scales with attendance, serves every tenant and reports on itself.

  • Capacity that scales with attendance

    More phones means more relay paths. The sold-out night is the night the network is strongest.

  • Tenant-agnostic

    Expose Zeva through your venue app, or let tenants embed the SDK in theirs. Same mesh, same gateways, same reports.

  • Coverage beyond the walls

    The mesh follows the crowd into lots, plazas and queues where fixed infrastructure ends.

  • Proof for ownership and sponsors

    Uptime, throughput and density reports from each event you can put in front of the board.

How a venue deploys Zeva

Nothing goes on the building. Gateways plug into backhaul you already have.

  1. 1

    Plan

    We map gateways to points of sale, box office, suites and ops from your floor plans and event calendar.

  2. 2

    Enable

    Ship Zeva in your venue app, or hand tenants the SDK for theirs. Attendees opt in with the update.

  3. 3

    Measure

    Every event produces an uptime, throughput and density report. Use it for tenants, sponsors and the capital plan.
