Improved Mobile Phone Coverage for US Presidential Conventions
Published on:
Corning MobileAccess announced that its distributed antenna systems (DAS) have been deployed at major locations in Tampa, Fla., and Charlotte, N.C., in support of the 2012 Republican and Democratic national conventions.
In all, MobileAccess' solutions provide improved cellular coverage in 12 key places - including convention centers and hotels - in the two cities where the national conventions are being held.
"The large spikes in wireless usage can create havoc with wireless service under the best conditions, let alone inside areas that are not normally conducive to receiving strong signals," said Mike Genovese, senior vice president, Wireless Networks and New Business Development, Corning Cable Systems.
The DAS in the Tampa Convention Center covers the facility's 600,000 square feet. The convention center serves as a hub for the thousands of media representatives covering the 2012 Republican National Convention.
"The DAS at Tampa Convention Center is a state-of-the-art system that allows these journalists to stay connected, file stories and more. Beyond this event, it's a system that will continue to serve all convention center guests for years to come," said Rick Hamilton, director, Tampa Convention Center.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) deployed the Corning MobileAccess DAS to provide cellular coverage and capacity throughout 1.8 million square feet of terminal space. Wireless Services, a company that specializes in RF design and installation, designed and installed the DAS at CLT.
"We worked very closely with representatives at CLT to provide the airport with a customized, comprehensive solution to successfully support the large influx of wireless communications that will take place during the convention and beyond," said Julio Dumas, managing partner, Wireless Services.
