US Open gets new partner in AT&T

The United States Tennis Association (USTA) has announced a multi-year partnership with telecommunications company AT&T, bringing it on board as the Official Connectivity Partner of the US Open.

The five-year partnership will see AT&T provide the US Open with connectivity solutions for fans through wireless services, network, and on-site support. AT&T’s distributed antenna system will be present at Arthur Ashe Stadium and the grounds to keep the on-site fans connected.

AT&T will also work with the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to enhance its network capabilities, while it will also have a dedicated hospitality area at the US Open.

Next year onwards, AT&T will serve as the Title Partner of one of Arthur Ashe Stadium’s new signature suite levels.

Deanne Pownall, Managing Director of Corporate Partnerships at the USTA, commented:

“AT&T has set the standard for connectivity at the biggest sports and entertainment events worldwide, and we’re excited to officially welcome them to the US Open as our Official Connectivity Provider.

“AT&T gives us the network and the investment to deliver the highest level of service to everyone who comes through the gates at the US Open, and we’re thrilled to have them as our partner for both the present and the future of our event.”

Kellyn Smith Kenny, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer, AT&T, added:

“The US Open is one of the world’s great sporting events, drawing the best athletes in tennis and fans from around the globe to New York every year.

“We’re proud to deepen our relationship with the USTA and support a tournament that has become a cultural tradition for generations of fans.”
