The Connectivity You Need to Compete—Without the Lag

Enable Esports Success with EdgeNet

Esports has exploded into thehigher education market, with hundreds of institutions now sustaining varsity teams, clubs, on-campus competitions, or a combination of all three. For institutions looking to differentiate themselves from the competition, a thriving esports program can serve as an opportunity to generate revenue, bolster recruitment, and develop a reputation as a leader in an emerging field.

With new opportunities come new challenges. The technological requirements of esports create challenges in bandwidth and network services. To deliver a top of the line esports experience, it’s crucial to avoid latency on the network -- the dreaded “lag” that degrades the gaming experience. On the commercial Internet, it is nearly impossible to guarantee the quality of service needed to meet the requirements for a high quality Esports experience. EdgeNet’s dedicated Esports offering is your solution to this problem.

With a dedicated esports connection via EdgeNet, you'll receive:

DEDICATED BANDWIDTH RESERVED EXCLUSIVELY FOR ESPORTS TRAFFIC
