Corning Feeds Surging Demand for Wireless at World Market Center
Provides Super-Fast Wireless Coverage Across 6 Million
Square-Foot Las Vegas Complex
CORNING, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 14, 2014) - Corning Incorporated
(NYSE: GLW) today announced the installation of its distributed
antenna system (DAS) at the World Market Center Las Vegas,
improving cellular coverage and capacity throughout the sprawling
tri-building showroom and trade complex.
"The results have been terrific! Offering reliable wireless
coverage makes a great first impression -- especially on those
who've been hesitant to visit us because of the lack of cellular
access," said Pedro Zapata, chief operating officer, World Market
Center.
The World Market Center deployment also included Corning's
MobileAccessHX, a two-watt amplifier. The high-powered remote
optimizes the number of antennas required for distributing
coverage, giving carriers the ability to enhance wireless service
in the most cavernous spaces more economically.
"We're pleased with the success of the World Market Center
project," said Mike O'Day, vice president, Optical Connectivity
Solutions, Corning. "Since its launch last year, the MobileAccessHX
remotes have helped many public venues solve the unique challenges
that their open-air and high-ceiling topologies frequently
present."
World Market Center Las Vegas, the industry's leading market
showcase for the home furnishings, décor and gift industries,
worked directly with a major wireless carrier to achieve its
wall-to-wall mobile connectivity improvements. Corning collaborated
with telecommunications service provider, Communication Technology
Services (CTS), to install the project in less than three months --
in time for attendees of the Summer Las Vegas Market to enjoy
improved wireless coverage, capacity and data speeds.
