Bringing Connectivity to the Portland Classic 

It’s that time of the year again! The Portland Classic returns August 1-4 to Columbia Edgewater Country Club and Comcast is once again providing the connectivity for the event. The Portland Classic is a women’s professional golf tournament founded in 1972 and is the oldest continuous event of the LPGA tour. Proceeds are donated to local children’s charities, with millions donated over the years.

Proper connectivity is essential to almost every part of the event. Fans, employees, volunteers, and the athletes themselves all need connectivity to have the best experience. It is crucial for enabling seamless communication, facilitating work, accessing digital services, and staying informed in an increasingly interconnected world.

Here’s where Comcast and my team come into play.

Comcast technicians begin preparations long before the tournament kicks off. Months in advance, meticulous planning is underway. In the weeks leading up to the event, our team dedicates hours to installing and deploying essential fiber optic, network, and coax infrastructure throughout the club. This ensures seamless connectivity for everyone attending the event. The golfers themselves depend on our robust network to perform at their peak during competition. Needless to say, it’s a substantial effort on our part to ensure everything runs smoothly.

We will install a robust network tailored for the entire event, ensuring seamless connectivity for players, media, vendors, transportation, operations, production crews, public attendees, Golf Channel personnel, and more. We provide wireless services all around the space – at the main club house, the 18th hole, grandstands area and driving range.

Thanks to this partnership, high-traffic areas will experience unparalleled performance. Additionally, we manage public Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspots throughout Portland, extending extra coverage to fans who are Comcast customers.

We’re thrilled to once again support connectivity at the Portland Classic in 2024. Being a part of our local communities is important to us, and we take pride in enhancing your experience at events that make our neighborhoods unique.

Looking forward to seeing you there and keeping you connected!
