Churchill Downs Racetrack partnered with Lumen Technologies to implement Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) capabilities for the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby. This initiative provides enhanced connectivity for hundreds of thousands of guests, media outlets, and mutuel operations during Derby Week.
The NaaS technology allows for high-capacity, secure connections to be brought online in minutes, scaling from a normal daily demand of 2-3 Gbps to nearly 200 Gbps during Derby Week. This dynamic, on-demand network experience replaces traditional temporary, hardwired circuits.
Lumen's NaaS platform offers ultra-low latency and reliability, critical for live broadcasts, mobile point-of-sale transactions, and guest Wi-Fi. This partnership demonstrates the practical application and scalability of Lumen's digital services in a high-stakes, high-velocity environment.
