Atlanta
DAS Provides Fast, Reliable Wireless Service Across 7 Million
Square Feet of Marketplace
CORNING, NY--(Marketwired - Nov 19, 2013) - Corning Incorporated
(NYSE: GLW) today announced that its distributed antenna system
(DAS) has been installed at AmericasMart® Atlanta to help deliver
improved wireless coverage, capacity and data speeds for exhibitors
and guests.
"Our investment in innovative technology solutions like the
Corning DAS speaks to our commitment to doing whatever is necessary
to ensure our merchants' success," said Jeff Portman, president and
chief operating officer, AmericasMart Atlanta. "The DAS allows us
to provide AmericasMart attendees the ability to do business
without having to worry about slow data speeds or spotty voice
coverage."
Comprised of nearly 1,300 antennas and more than 250 fiber-fed
remotes, the DAS enhances cellular coverage during high-traffic
events when thousands of people might be trying to access the
network simultaneously.
"Corning is excited to provide the DAS to AmericasMart Atlanta,
the nation's premier wholesale trade center," said Mike O'Day, vice
president, Optical Connectivity Solutions, Corning. "We're
continuing to see a growing demand for indoor cellular systems not
only from wireless operators, but also from organizations like
AmericasMart, who want to ensure their customers receive the best
service possible. Our DAS addresses the needs of each of these
groups."
AmericasMart Atlanta is the world's only global wholesale
marketplace, containing 7 million square feet of space across three
buildings and 15 floors, including showrooms and exhibit halls. The
DAS was installed by H&M NetWorks, one of the leading national
network design and integration providers, in just 12 weeks while
the AmericasMart remained open for business
The solution provides visitors to AmericasMart Atlanta's largest
events with the ability to make calls and seamlessly use their
smartphones, tablets and devices to access the Web, send texts,
upload photos and videos -- all while staying connected at
significantly increased speeds. Those events include AmericasMart
Atlanta's January markets and the March Atlanta Spring Gift, Home
Furnishings & Holiday Market®.
