Mon, January 26, 2009 ADC Delivers High-Performance Cellular Services for Raymond James Stadium
MINNEAPOLIS--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT) ([ www.adc.com ]) today announced that its InterReach Fusion® in-building cellular solution has been deployed at Tampa's 65,000-seat Raymond James Stadium to support mobile services for capacity crowds at football games and other events. The system will provide coverage throughout the stadium, including the inner bowl, all seating levels, luxury boxes, offices and locker rooms, and the stadium parking area.
Given the ubiquity of cell phones, the need for stadium staff to stay connected, and the popularity of fans calling friends during events, the stadium operators wanted to ensure that cellular services were up to the job of handling as many as 10,000 to 15,000 simultaneous calls. The stadium selected ADC's InterReach Fusion system because it delivers high performance throughout a coverage area.
The [ InterReach Fusion ] system installed at Raymond James Stadium includes 19 main hubs, 23 expansion hubs, and 109 remote antenna units. Thanks to the Fusion system's active architecture, the wireless signal is distributed and reproduced at full power through each antenna location.
"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. "We are proud to be enabling trouble-free wireless connectivity at Raymond James stadium, and to count it among our worldwide portfolio of major public deployments."
