The technology that runs the Wimbledon 2019 tennis championship

As digital and mobile devices connect more people around the world to the web, Wimbledon fans online cannot always expect to have the same levels of bandwidth or connectivity that other countries take for granted. For 2019, IBM and Wimbledon developed a progressive web app for fans in territories with lower bandwidth and less developed mobile hardware.

For example, over 900 million fans in India are interested in Wimbledon tennis, and a progressive web app offers a more lightweight experience to keep fans up to date with the latest scores and results.

IBM's cloud monitoring and management technologies are used to ensure the availability, scalability and distribution of all the Wimbledon content to fans of the game worldwide.
