ADC has changed the way people communicate through its high performance and scalable outdoor solutions. It announced that its distributed antenna systems - InterReach Fusion, InterReach Spectrum and FlexWave Prism - have been deployed to deliver clear, high-capacity 2G, 3G and 4G wireless services at major college and professional sports stadiums across the United States.
Football and baseball fans are all set to witness exciting games during the ensuing season, and ADC wireless systems will play a big part by ensuring that fans can stay in touch either by phoning or texting. It will also see that they have access to the Internet during capacity-crowd events. Many f NFL, MLB and college stadiums in different states have been newly outfitted with ADC's DAS equipment.
The ADC systems deployed at the stadiums deliver precision, high-capacity wireless services for major mobile operators and have the capacity to withstand extremely high amounts of traffic usually generated during sports and entertainment events.
In fact, AT&T reported traffic 14 times greater than typical mobile activity during the 2008 Super Bowl and normal mobile network infrastructure will collapse under such huge traffic bursts.
However, ADC's DAS solutions can deliver the required capacity, minimizing deployment time and expense. With the DAS systems, dropped calls, failed call attempts, slow browsing and other issues that typically tend to annoy fans at large events, are all things of the past.
John Spindler, vice president of product management for ADC’s Network Solutions business unit said that ADC systems delivered uniformly high capacity at each antenna point while enabling cost-effective capacity scaling through centrally located base stations.
In addition, ADC's active architecture used 75 Ohm cabling and fiber optics to connect components, making it easy and economical to install. Coupled with high-performance of its solutions, Spindler said that it was not surprising that the company's DAS systems had been deployed in a large number of NFL, MLB, and college stadiums.
ADC provides the connections for wireline, wireless, cable, broadcast, and enterprise networks around the world. ADC's innovative network infrastructure equipment and professional services enable high-speed Internet, data, video, and voice services to residential, business and mobile subscribers.
In a related news release, ADC showcased its fiber leadership through its expanded portfolio of fiber solutions and featured FTTP presentations at the 2010 FTTH Conference and Exposition, held at the Venetian Resort Hotel in Las Vegas, Sept. 12-16.
