The live entertainment industry has reached a point where the physical experience on the field or stage is only half the story. The other half happens in another reality that is becoming embedded in everything we do –the screens in the palm of every spectator’s hand.
Fans expect to interact with the event –whether that means participating in real-time stadium trivia, seeing their own content on the big screen, or instantly accessing digital discounts. However, deploying these modern features on top of rigid, legacy venue networks can be considered a major investment or risk and an operational gamble.
Many content producers lack confidence in the reliability of the network and hesitate to look at new opportunities to advance fan engagement and sponsor activations. According to Deloitte’s Sports Stadium Experience insights, infrastructure limitations remain the number one obstacle for operators trying to scale digital features, leaving producers hesitant to deploy advanced fan engagement or high-stakes sponsor activations out of a justified fear that the network will choke.
This partnership delivers a complete, full-stack solution to a major operational challenge. By uniting Weaver Labs’ advanced network orchestration platform with Vixi’s fan engagement suite, we are introducing a brand-new model to the market: a future-proof foundation that turns network connectivity into a data-rich, monetisable asset, paired with the exact creative tools needed to capture an audience.
The Vixi Suite is an all-in-one fan engagement platform built to transform passive spectators into an active community. Designed for high-energy, live environments –including global concert tours, professional sports leagues, and major entertainment events– the Vixi Suite operates through a single, seamless producer interface.
Vixi respects the venue’s need for complete data sovereignty. Rather than acting as a third-party silo, the platform is designed to integrate directly with a stadium’s existing digital ecosystem. It offers web-based activations that give fans instant, frictionless access, which can then be leveraged to drive deeper adoption of the venue’s official app. The platform brings a venue’s atmosphere to life through:
For teams and brands, Vixi turns every moment of an event into a new, highly visible digital touchpoint, opening up fresh inventory for sponsorships and content.
“As fan engagement becomes more interactive, the network is no longer just infrastructure, it’s a critical part of the experience. Our partnership with Weaver Labs combines intelligent connectivity with the Vixi Suite, giving venues the confidence to deliver engaging, scalable experiences for fans, sponsors, and operators.”
– CJ Davis, CTO, The Famous Group
While Vixi drives the fan experience on the surface, Weaver Labs provides the underlying infrastructure architecture required to make it viable. Weaver Labs is a telecom software company redefining how networks are managed through its proprietary orchestration software, Cell-Stack.
Cell-Stack abstracts physical network hardware (like 5G and Wi-Fi) and turns it into an open, flexible, and intelligent software-defined layer. For a venue, this transforms connectivity from a massive utility expense into a strategic asset:
Software can only perform as well as the network beneath it allows, and a network is only as valuable as the applications running on top of it.
Until now, teams and stadium operators had to source these two pieces independently, trying to force experiential software to play nice with rigid, siloed hardware. Weaver Labs and Vixi deliver the entire ecosystem together.
When a producer triggers a stadium-wide light show, or thousands of fans upload an AI photo simultaneously, Weaver Labs’ Cell-Stack automatically recognises the demand and dynamically carves out the exact bandwidth Vixi needs to execute seamlessly. The result is zero lag, zero dropped connections, and fully realised branding opportunities.
This is the new blueprint for the modern stadium. By aligning the digital layer with the physical network layer, Weaver Labs and Vixi are establishing the operational framework to power the live event industry for the next decade.

This article marks the conclusion of our series on the digital evolution of modern venues where we shift from identifying the problem to executing the solution. If our previous articles established that technology is no longer a utility but a strategic asset, and that infrastructure is the engine of ROI, this final piece outlines the […]
In the second part of our three-part series, we move beyond connectivity as an asset to explore the ‘Translation Gap’; the critical divide between collecting stadium data and converting it into commercial fuel. In our previous discussion, we addressed the “Shiny Object” trap; the tendency to prioritise high-tier applications over the foundational infrastructure required to […]
This is the first in a three-part series exploring why connectivity has evolved from a back-office utility into a stadium’s most powerful commercial engine. In the modern sports and entertainment landscape, the pursuit of innovation is relentless. Stadium operators are under immense pressure to deliver the “stadium of the future,” leading to significant investments in […]
At Weaver Labs, we believe a truly smart stadium isn’t defined by cables, antennas, or signal bars; it’s defined by what connectivity enables. A smart venue is one where digital infrastructure acts as a platform, allowing immersive experiences, real-time interaction, and innovative ways for fans to engage with the matchday experience. On February 17th, we […]
DePIN (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks) is often discussed in abstract terms, wrapped in crypto narratives and future promises. But stripped of hype, DePIN describes a very real architectural and economic shift: turning physical infrastructure into shared, programmable, value-generating platforms. For stadiums under pressure to improve fan experience, unlock new revenue streams, and operate more efficiently, […]
At Weaver Labs, our mission has always been to make connectivity more open, programmable, and intelligent. And now, that mission is accelerating into its next chapter. Today, we’re officially announcing our strategic partnership with Madevo AI. A collaboration that has been quietly maturing behind the scenes and is now ready to redefine what’s possible in […]
