Minneapolis-based ADC has announced that it has equipped Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium with its InterReach cellular solution that strengthens network coverage and avoids dropped calls when a large number of spectators attempt to use their cell phones simultaneously while watching sports events.

 

The wireless solution, known as InterReach Fusion in-building cellular solution, is designed to provide coverage to all the 65,000 seats throughout the stadium, including the inner bowl, luxury boxes, offices and locker rooms as well the parking lot.

 

With the new wireless system in place, the stadium can now handle as many as 10,000 to 15,000 calls simultaneously.

 

When a football game gets underway, stadium’s staff needs to stay connected with each other to better manage the event. ADC’s (News - Alert) system bolsters the network coverage and ensures that even the spectators do not face any inconvenience.

 

The stadium said it selected ADC’s wireless solution because of its ability to deliver high-performance wireless coverage throughout its premises.

 

The system installed at Raymond James Stadium includes 19 main hubs, 23 expansion hubs, and 109 remote antenna units.

 

It reproduces wireless signals and distribute among the antennas deployed at several places across the stadium.

 

“Our InterReach Fusion systems deliver the highest performance for stadiums, airports, and other large public spaces, which is why they’re often the choice of major venues like Raymond James Stadium,” said John Spindler, vice president of product management at ADC,

 

The company has won accolades for its advanced in-building wireless solutions and compact network systems with their unique ability to enhance coverage in macro networks.

 

ADC, which also provides connections for wireline, cable, broadcast, and enterprise networks, is a maker of network infrastructure equipments that enable high-speed Internet, data, video services to residential, business and mobile subscribers.
