Rigstar Industrial Telecom is a proud sponsor of the 2018 Southern Texas PGA Tradition Championship Tournament from July 23-24 at the Riverbend Country Club located in Sugar Land, Texas. The tournament is considered one of the STPGA major championships and is a 36-hole stroke play competition that features between 90-110 PGA Professionals.

Rigstar, along with Samsung Industrial Wi-Fi and Tessco, are excited about the opportunity to showcase the benefits of deploying a Wi-Fi network throughout the entire golf course. For the first time ever, this STPGA tournament will now have the capabilities to deliver real-time live score keeping. This has always been a challenge in the past due to the scale of a typical golf course, limited access to connectivity and power, and cost justification for a course-wide network. Rigstar, Samsung and Tessco will demonstrate our capabilities to design and support industrial grade, robust, and reliable wireless networks to enable the Industrial Internet of Things for the golf industry.

The golf industry is starting to recognize the benefits of intelligent monitoring through sensors and devices that provide real-time data. Soil sensors placed throughout the course can detect the quality and determine when to water or possibly fertilize.

Additional Benefits include:

• Track Golf Cart Movement – manage pace of play and deploy beverage cart
• Water Conservation – intelligent irrigation
