PWS Provides Gear Package for US Soccer Doubleheader

	PWS manages RF coordination and deploys intercom system for US Soccer Federation matches.

Professional Wireless Systems (PWS) provided a comprehensive wireless gear package and onsite RF coordination support for two recent US Soccer Federation matches held at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Connecticut.

The event featured a doubleheader showcasing the US Deaf Men's National Team vs. Germany and the US Women's National Team vs. Portugal, drawing over 26,000 fans and live national broadcast coverage.

Working closely with the US Soccer Federation's event production team, PWS supplied a complete intercom and communications package. This consisted of a standalone Riedel Bolero system, which was designed to overcome the venue's limited infrastructure. PWS' onsite RF team provided hands-on field support, assured that production staff remained connected throughout both matches.

"These events simply don't happen without the PWSs team there," says Chris Vanderbeek, director of event production for the US Soccer Federation. "We were working in a venue that didn't have the infrastructure we needed for our communications, and PWS made it all possible. The technology package they provided worked flawlessly, and their onsite support team was constantly ahead of any potential issue. It was a seamless experience that allowed us to focus on the show itself."

The PWS crew provided full intercom coverage for the production team, enabling clear, uninterrupted communication across the stadium -- including remote field positions and control areas. The setup proved essential to managing timing, cueing, and coordination across multiple live elements supporting both games.

"The best part is that nothing went wrong -- and that's exactly what you want," adds Vanderbeek. "PWS gave us confidence that every cue, every connection and every moment would happen exactly as planned."

The recent matches marked the second collaboration between the US Soccer Federation and Professional Wireless Systems, following a successful event partnership earlier in the year.
