That\u2019s why it only makes sense that Zayo and the Pac-12 Conference have teamed up, with Zayo becoming the official sponsor and technology partner of the Pac-12. The Conference of Champions, the Pac-12, has long been the gold standard of excellence in collegiate athletics, with more NCAA team national championships than any other conference in history.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

“It\u2019s all about the user experience \u2013 viewers don\u2019t want to miss a moment.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Being the best collegiate conference in the country starts with having a strong, dedicated internet foundation to maximize productivity every day. It also means having the fastest data speeds with minimal disruptions to deliver high-quality broadcasts to millions of Pac-12 sports fans wherever they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about the user experience \u2013 viewers don\u2019t want to miss a moment,\u201d said Aaron Werley, VP Technology, Lit Networks. \u201cThey want to consume high-definition content without any lag or blips. You need an incredible amount of bandwidth on a highly resilient network to satisfy this and Zayo is able to provide that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Zayo powered the Pac-12 Football Championship Game on the\u00a0Zayo Wavelength Network<\/a>, which offers high bandwidth solutions and custom network designs with flexible and competitive pricing. The game was the highest viewed program of the day among 18-49-year-olds, with an audience of 4.2 million viewers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Pac-12 runs 850 live events in a season and that\u2019s a lot of content. Zayo provides us almost 90% of our connectivity to each of our campuses \u2013 so all of this content traverses Zayo\u2019s network, back to our San Francisco headquarters, and then into our viewers\u2019 home,\u201d said Howard Chung, Director, Campus and Events Infrastructure for the Pac-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are some highlights of this monumental partnership between Zayo\u2019s unmatched global network and The Conference of Champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
