Tyco Electronics Provides Mobile Infrastructure for Dallas

Tyco Electronics (News - Alert) (TE) today announced that its InterReach Fusion® and FlexWave® Prism distributed antenna systems (DAS) have been deployed at major sports and hospitality venues to support high-quality mobile services for AT&T (News - Alert) subscribers. The deployments come as Dallas prepares to host America's premier professional football event in early February, and they include stadiums, hotels, performing arts venues, and security centers.

"While we have been planning these deployments for a year in some cases, we knew we would come down to the wire in getting some of them deployed," said Chris Jurasek, vice president of the Wireless and Services business unit of TE. "The InterReach Fusion and FlexWave Prism systems deliver coverage and capacity in all of these varied properties and they could be deployed quickly - within four days in one case."

The deployments include FlexWave Prism systems at TCU Stadium and SMU Stadium, which will serve as practice facilities for the two opposing teams. InterReach Fusion systems provide mobile services for 3G on the 700MHz, 800MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100 MHz frequency bands with MIMO functionality at the Anatole and Adolphus hotels, and two Dallas Performing Arts Centers.

"At a major sporting event like this where tens of thousands of fans, media reporters, and team members will be gathered in these venues, a breakdown in mobile communications would be very disruptive," said Chris Jurasek, vice president of the Wireless and Services business unit of Tyco Electronics. "We are proud to have been selected as the provider of the wireless systems that will enable AT&T subscribers to enjoy high-quality mobile services no matter how large the crowd."
