How OpenCape Powers the Falmouth Commodores on Game Night

Every great team needs a strong backbone, and for the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League, that backbone is powered by OpenCape.

As the official internet provider for the Commodores, OpenCape delivers the high-speed fiber connectivity needed to keep every aspect of game night running smoothly—on the field, in the stands, and across the digital world.

The Challenge: Modern Game Nights Need More Than Just a Scoreboard

In today’s world, even local sports need enterprise-level connectivity.

Cape League games involve far more than just what happens on the field. Scouts rely on real-time stats. Fans watch live from afar. Vendors need point-of-sale systems to stay online. Social teams need to upload content instantly. Broadcasters need stable connections to stream the action. And everything has to work without fail.

Traditional broadband just doesn’t cut it.

As Allen, of Falmouth Commodores TV, recalls:

“When I first started covering Commodores games 12 years ago it was with FCTV and I remember having to run a cable to the police department behind the field because we didn't have enough bandwidth to stream out the games. The next year they upgraded their internet through Comcast and while it would allow us to stream we were constantly running into issues, whether the merch shack would be unable to process transactions because the speeds were so slow or our streams continuously buffering. Now with OpenCape we don't have to worry about internet issues, it just works. It works so well in fact we are able to have an outdoor TV for fans that actually plays the games directly from our stream. This helps to enhance the fan experience but also our experience as we are not sitting around waiting for pages or stats to refresh and update everything just works.”

The Solution: 100% Fiber-Powered Infrastructure from OpenCape

OpenCape’s fiber network was deployed to support the Commodores and enable seamless connectivity across the stadium. Here’s how our infrastructure performed at a recent Saturday night game:

• 🎥 HD Livestreaming: Dual 1080p livestreams on CapeLeagueTV and YouTube with play-by-play commentary

• 📊 Live Stats & Data Feeds: Real-time reporting to scouts and MLB databases

• 💳 Connected Concessions: Fast, reliable internet for POS systems—no lag, no downtime

• 📸 Instant Uploads: Photographers and social teams sharing content in seconds

• 🎙️ Radio Broadcast Support: Reliable uplink for the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox broadcast team

The Outcome: A Seamless Experience for Fans, Scouts, and Staff

Thanks to OpenCape’s fiber connection, the Commodores game night experience was flawless for both in-person and remote audiences. Livestreams ran without buffering. Sales systems were fast and secure. Media uploads happened in real time. And most importantly, the league could focus on the game—not the tech.

As Allen put it best: “Everything just works.”
