Super Bowl XLIII is more than a championship game. It is a time when nearly a quarter of a million sports enthusiasts will come together in Tampa Bay, Florida to enjoy the game and related activities. This means that safety is a top priority with federal, state, regional, and local authorities working diligently to help ensure that the right security technology is in place for the biggest sporting event of the year.
E•SPONDER, a managed, Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, worked with authorities on an integrated security communications plan for Super Bowl XLIII that will deliver real- time, visual communications. First responders will use the E•SPONDER portal, coupled with the Falcon Eye technology of Infusion Development, also a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, to track all activities during the game and around the city.
Now that safety scores a touchdown, are you ready for some football?
