TELECOMMUNICATIONS group Vodafone has unveiled a new partnership with The SSE Hydro in Glasgow which includes an on-site “super-suite”, available to customers and guests during live events.
Vodafone will also use the facility for branded experiences and to showcase the latest technologies such as 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The 14,300-capcity Hydro is Scotland’s largest entertainment venue hosting around 150 music, sporting and entertainment events every year.
Anne Sheehan, director of Vodafone Business said that the new partnership “reinforces our commitment to Glasgow”. She added: “We’re looking forward to working closely with The SSE Hydro to explore how 5G can enable the creation of new and compelling experiences for fans.”
Glasgow was one of the first cities where Vodafone launched its 5G network in 2019.
Ross Easton, head of commercial at the Scottish Event Campus, said: “We believe Vodafone’s latest technologies have the potential to greatly enhance our visitors’ enjoyment at The SSE Hydro and will help us to continue to deliver a fantastic experience for fans.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
