Truespeed has been announced as the official broadband and public Wi-Fi provider for Bath Rugby.
This is part of a new multi-year strategic partnership that covers the provision of ultrafast Wi-Fi together with joint community outreach programmes.
Bath Rugby, the Premiership Rugby club and Truespeed Communications, the Bath based broadband provider, will together look to enhance the fan experience at The Rec, the home of the team.
Tarquin McDonald, chief executive at Bath Rugby said, “We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Truespeed. This partnership is an investment and improvement in our stadium infrastructure to enhance the experience of Bath Rugby fans and visitors at The Rec.
“This upgrade will introduce Wi-Fi to the Fan Village and ensure that Bath Rugby fans, visitors and vendors benefit from the improved connectivity in the area. It is exciting to collaborate with another Bath based organisation with high ambitions to improve and inspire the communities we operate in.”
James Lowther, chief executive, Truespeed, added, “Truespeed is excited to launch our new multi-year partnership with Bath Rugby. As a company with strong local roots, Truespeed are proud to be upgrading the broadband infrastructure of the Southwest.
“This partnership with the much-loved Bath Rugby team extends the power of our ultrafast full fibre network to dramatically improve the Fan Village experience at The Rec.”
Bath Rugby fans will be able to access speeds of up to 300 Mbps for free in the Fan Village at The Rec. To deliver this experience, Bath Rugby and Truespeed have upgraded the connectivity to the stadium and installed an additional wireless network in the Fan Village to ensure seamless Wi-Fi.
Bath Rugby and Truespeed will also collaborate on community outreach programmes in the Southwest. Truespeed’s Community Connections programme already extends to 150 schools and community institutions and the newly announced partnership between these Bath based institutions aims to extend the scope and impact of the community outreach together.
