The British Esports Federation is about to level up its National Esports Performance Campus in Sunderland. Thanks to the UK government’s Open Networks Ecosystem Competition, the Stadium of Light and the National Esports Performance Campus are in for a serious connectivity makeover.
A substantial £5.7 million in grant funding has been earmarked for these venues as part of the Open Networks Ecosystem Competition, a nationwide initiative aimed at boosting innovation in the UK’s telecommunications sector.
So, what’s the buzz about this project? It’s known as the Sunderland Open Network EcosysTem, or SONET for short. Led by the Sunderland City Council and a consortium of partners, it’s one of the select 19 projects chosen for this initiative.
