The global wireless technology management company Baylin Technologies Inc. recently announced that its Galtronics subsidiary has been awarded a $132,000 contract to retrofit the Estadio Azteca, a stadium in Latin America with a seating capacity of 87,523 and home to the Club América soccer team as well as the Mexican national soccer team.

‘CANADIAN MANUFACTURING’ stated that Galtronics multibeam and stadium antennas will be installed to provide high-capacity wireless coverage to enhance the customer experience at the stadium. In dense crowds these antennas help the cellular providers (carriers) manage massive spikes in data usage during events (such as livestreaming and social media uploads).

Toronto (Canada)-based Baylin Technologies Inc. is a diversified leading global wireless technology management company. Baylin focuses on research, design, development, manufacturing, and sales of passive and active radio-frequency products and services.

Galtronics is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Baylin Technologies Inc. It designs and manufactures antenna solutions primarily for wireless communication products and infrastructure solving complex connectivity challenges.

The Estadio Azteca (officially known as the Estadio Banorte for sponsorship reasons) is a football stadium located in Coyoacán, Mexico City (Mexico). It is the official home of the football team Club América as well as the Mexico national team. The stadium sits at an altitude of 2,200 m (7,200 feet) above sea level. With a capacity of 87,523 it is the largest stadium in Latin America and the sixth-largest association football stadium in the world.

The Club América is a professional football club based in Mexico City (Mexico). Nicknamed Las Águilas (The Eagles) it competes in Liga MX, the top tier of Mexican football.

Exulted Leighton Carroll, Baylin head honcho, “We are incredibly excited to be chosen by the largest venue in Latin America and a host site for the upcoming World Cup. Galtronics being selected not only demonstrates the value of what we do but also shows wireless carriers around the world understand the unique capabilities of our products at solving high-capacity needs using our innovative Multibeam technology.”

‘CANADIAN MANUFACTURING’ further stated that the stadium is scheduled to host games during the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ including the opening game.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup™, marketed as FIFA World Cup 26™, will be the 23^rd FIFA World Cup™, the quadrennial international men’s soccer championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament will take place from June 11^th-July 19^th, 2026. It will be jointly hosted by 16 Cities in three North American countries.
