Premier League football giant Arsenal Football Club is strengthening its payment capabilities after choosing Transaction Network Services (TNS) for its enhanced network connectivity.
The football club will use TNS’ managed connectivity services to process payment transactions for the hospitality division of the business. The deal will see TNS provide secure, reliable and cost effective solutions that will enable the processing of transactions for tickets, refreshments and merchandise.
TNS’ Managed Connectivity Solutions will provide Arsenal Football Club with secure, fully managed, resilient connectivity.
