Avaya claimed its voice and data network for the World Cup is the biggest of its kind for any sporting tournament. Over the 31-day duration of the event, Avaya expects 15 trillion bytes of data to run through the network, which links 12 host stadiums, international media centers and the FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) headquarters in Berlin. The network hosts 45,000 connections and 30,000 network devices and provides support for player and journalist accreditation, results reporting, materials tracking, ticketing and transportation.
