Summer is a heady time for those of a sporting persuasion.

With the rise of multiple viewing platforms and ever-more-personalised content options, viewers have unprecedented access to real-time information from the very nuts and bolts of their favourite sports. A plethora of IoT technologies are bringing sporting fans closer to the action than ever before. Real-time insights generated from connected stadiums and even connected athletes are changing coaching styles, training approaches and the way fans engage with what they are seeing.
