CAE teams up with Fulham Football Club in IT infrastructure partnership

VAR will upgrade London football club’s IT and Wi-Fi networks over the next three seasons

CAE Technology Services has teamed up with Fulham Football club to provide IT infrastructure upgrades for the next three seasons.

The Hemel Hampstead-based firm has become an official partner of the London club until the end of the 2022-2023 season.

CAE will design and deploy Wi-Fi networks and IT infrastructure capabilities in the Fulham Pier, which is currently being built and is set to open this summer as renovations continue at Fulham's stadium Craven Cottage.

The investments will help Fulham FC meet the needs of the 5G super-connected football fan, claims CAE while also driving efficiency in the football club's IT systems.

As part of the partnership, CAE will receive brand exposure and access to Fulham FC's Business Club. The VAR's staff and clients will also have the opportunity to watch games live at Craven Cottage.

CEO Justin Harling said: "Our organisations share a passion for results, for making a positive global impact and for developing talent that promises a long and successful future. Fulham have demonstrated dedication on and off the pitch, which can inspire the club to greater heights and give the fans a remarkable experience of top-class football. We are excited to support Fulham in cementing their place in the top tier of football and helping create a future that will bring success for the club and everyone connected with them."

Jon Don-Carolis Sales Director at Fulham FC added:

"We are delighted to bring CAE Technology Services on board as Official Partner of both the Club and Fulham Pier development. Through shared values of innovation and sustainability we look forward to working in collaboration with CAE to drive our technology vision and to deliver a world class customer experience 365 days per year."
