Now delivering wireless in more than 50 major sports
venues
CORNING, N.Y., December 11,
2013 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today
announced its distributed antenna systems (DAS) deliver always-on
wireless coverage in more than 50 major sports venues and arenas
across North America. Now, as many as 2.4 million spectators have
access to super-fast voice, texting and data coverage - at the same
time.
"Corning is committed to designing unique
solutions that help carriers provide the best wireless experience
to sports fans, athletes, and event staff," said Mike O'Day, vice
president, Optical Connectivity Solutions, Corning. "With our DAS,
large venues can finally address issues with spotty coverage and
dropped calls, giving fans the ability to instantly share their
experiences with their friends and family."
In the United States, the list of venues covered
by Corning's wireless technology includes 12 NFL football stadiums,
seven Major League Baseball parks, and 14 college stadiums and
arenas. There are an additional eight stadiums and arenas in Canada
and Mexico, including one of the world's largest bullrings, located
in Mexico City.
Two recent high-profile wireless projects include
Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Ind., (site of Super Bowl XLVI)
and M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, (home of the Super Bowl XLVII
champion Ravens). Lucas Oil Stadium was the fifth Super Bowl venue
to be outfitted with a DAS provided by Corning, joining Reliant
Park, Houston, Texas (site of Super Bowl XXXVIII); Alltel Stadium,
Jacksonville, Fla., (site of Super Bowl XXXIX); and Ford Field,
Detroit (site of Super Bowl XL).
Many outdoor venues also rely on Corning's
MobileAccessHX, a 2-watt amplifier. The high-powered remote
optimizes the number of antennas required for distributing
coverage, giving carriers the ability to enhance wireless service
in cavernous spaces more economically.
