TE Connectivity announced it has outfitted NFL football stadiums around the United States with distributed antenna system (DAS) to upgrade mobile coverage.
TE’s InterReach Spectrum, InterReach Fusion, and FlexWave Prism DAS products help these stadium owners and service providers deliver high-quality mobile services for capacity crowds.
The service will help ensure that football fans can use voice and data services, even during capacity-crowd events. Fans can call, text, send photos, post to social media sites and access the Internet through 3G and 4G networks to improve their experience and share it with their friends and families.
The DAS systems are deployed at MetLife Stadium, Fedex Field, Sports Authority Field, University of Phoenix Stadium, The Rose Bowl, Boise State University Stadium, Oklahoma State University Stadium, University of Michigan, University of Mississippi and University of Oklahoma Stadium.
“Using smart phones is now an integral part of the fan experience at football games, and fans expect high-quality mobile services,” said Peter Wraight, vice president and general manager of Wireless at TE Connectivity. “Our DAS products help ensure that stadiums and service providers can deliver the complete, robust coverage and capacity their fans demand.”
Over 50 stadiums have deployed TE DAS systems around the world. Typically large crowds of fans generate extremely high amounts of traffic during sports and entertainment events as they make calls, send texts and photos to friends, post to social media sites, or browse the Internet.
TE’s DAS solutions deliver the required capacity with minimal deployment time and expenses, bringing these stadiums up to speed in time for the beginning of football season.
The mobile network capacity provided through the TE DAS systems helps eliminate dropped calls, slow browsing, and other issues that visitors to large events typically experience.
“Using smart phones is now an integral part of the fan experience at football games, and fans expect high-quality mobile services,” said Peter Wraight, vice president and general manager of Wireless at TE Connectivity. “Our DAS products help ensure that stadiums and service providers can deliver the complete, robust coverage and capacity their fans demand.”
