Phoenix Suns Trading Up

New Verizon 5G Performance Center places Suns and Verizon at forefront of sports technology

In 2012, the Phoenix Suns became the first NBA team to integrate wireless technology into their basketball operations by using tablets powered by Verizon on the team’s bench, a breakthrough collaboration at the time.

Fast-forward eight years, and the Suns and Verizon are again taking sports tech to revolutionary levels with the debut of the world-class Verizon 5G Performance Center located at 44th and Camelback in Phoenix – a massive trade up from the practice facility that was in the basement of the Suns’ and Mercury’s downtown Phoenix arena for the past 27 years.
