NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), an Official Supplier of Major League Soccer (MLS) and a global leader in shared network infrastructure, successfully deployed a comprehensive connectivity and advanced technology platform at Nu Stadium in Miami Freedom Park ahead of the stadium's April debut. The 26,700-seat stadium -set within a sprawling 131-acre mixed-use development- serves as the permanent home of Inter Miami CF, the reigning 2025 MLS Cup Champions. The newly activated network supports high-performance connectivity for fans, venue operations, and next generation digital experiences from day one.

A Converged Network for a Future-Ready Stadium

Transparent and Predictable Financial Model

All elements were delivered through an innovative Technology as a Service model, eliminating the need for significant upfront capital investment by the club.

• Always-on connectivity: More than 600 access points for high-density Wi-Fi and cellular support to connect fans and staff throughout the stadium and across the 131-acre development.

Thyssenkrupp zieht beim geplanten Verkauf seiner Stahlsparte an den indischen Konkurrenten Jindal vorerst die Reißleine. Beide Unternehmen haben vereinbart, die seit September laufenden Gespräche auszusetzen. Nach Angaben des Essener Industriekonzerns soll die Neuaufstellung von Thyssenkrupp Steel nun aus eigener Kraft konsequent weiterverfolgt werden. Konzernchef Miguel López betonte, die Voraussetzungen für eine profitable Fortführung des Geschäfts seien „so gut wie lange nicht mehr“.

Im Hintergrund steht ein deutlicher Stimmungsumschwung im europäischen Stahlsektor. Thyssenkrupp verweist auf „große Fortschritte bei der Neuausrichtung“ des Segments und ein deutlich verbessertes Umfeld. Die Europäische Union habe die Bedeutung der Stahlproduktion für die Resilienz industrieller Wertschöpfungsketten erkannt und den Willen bekundet, die europäische Stahlindustrie stärker gegen globale Überkapazitäten und Dumping abzuschirmen. Zudem will Brüssel die Umstellung auf eine klimafreundliche Stahlproduktion weiter unterstützen.

Auch operativ hat sich die Lage bei Thyssenkrupp Steel zuletzt aufgehellt. Die Sparte, historischer Kern des Ruhrkonzerns, legte im laufenden Geschäft zu. Parallel läuft jedoch ein tiefgreifender Umbau: Zur Sanierung des Bereichs sollen in den kommenden Jahren bis zu 11.000 der rund 26.000 Stellen gestrichen oder ausgelagert werden. López hatte bereits zuvor erklärt, je erfolgreicher die Neuausrichtung umgesetzt werde, desto attraktiver werde das Stahlgeschäft für Kapitalmarkt und Investoren – „ob mit oder ohne Jindal“.

Der vorläufige Verkaufsstopp bedeutet keinen endgültigen Verbleib der Stahlsparte im Konzern. Mittelfristig hält Thyssenkrupp an dem Ziel fest, sich vom Stahlgeschäft zu trennen. Gewerkschaften wie die IG Metall drängen derweil auf Klarheit und fordern ein Ende der Verkaufsüberlegungen ohne „Hintertür“. Sie verlangen Gespräche über ein Modell, mit dem sich der Stahlbereich eigenständig und aus eigener Kraft verselbstständigen könnte. Während frühere Versuche für einen Verkauf, ein Joint Venture oder einen Börsengang gescheitert sind, setzt das Management nun darauf, den Wert des Bereichs vor einem möglichen nächsten Schritt weiter zu steigern.
