LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Raiders' new home in Las Vegas will come equipped with pretty good internet.

In order to make that a reality, the Raiders' new home will be covered by 1,700 Wi-Fi access points and 40-gigabit optical internet connections that Cox Business says will provide high-speed bandwidth for every mobile device in the stadium. According to the company, Cox will also power nearly 2,200 Cisco Vision dynamic screens and signs stadium-wide.
