United Approach to IT&T and IBC
These high-capacity fiber networks will
also play a key role in creating a resilient
2026 FIFA World Cup wide area network
(WAN). The WAN will establish the links
between each stadium, airports, appropriate
non-competition sites, FIFA Headquarters,
and the International Broadcast Center and
content data centers which will utilize resilient
diversely routed 100Gbps circuits forming the
backbone links of the common event network.
Given the time frame, it is anticipated that
4K/8K transmission will be commonplace in
each of the Host Countries, therefore requiring
high-bandwidth circuits. There is also choice
of service providers at national, regional, and
transregional level to ensure that bandwidth
prices are competitively and reasonably priced
while still offering high capacity and high
quality of service (QoS) WAN.
The use of landline telephone services
in each Candidate Host City varies, but the
trends across all three nations suggest that
telephony, multi-media, and basic data circuits
will be carried by IP-based broadband over
fiber for fixed line and greater use of 5G
wireless and nomadic broadband by 2026.
