Keeping fans connected at college and professional sports stadiums and other large venues is becoming increasingly important to mobile operators, venue owners and the teams themselves.
TE Connectivity announced this week that it has been upgrading wireless services at Major League Baseball Stadiums including Yankee Stadium and The Ballpark at Arlington, where the Texas Rangers play. AT&T just installed more than 1,100 Wi-FI access points at the Miami Dolphins’ Sun Life Stadium, where the carrier already has a distributed antenna system in place.
Tony Lefebvre, director of product management for global wireless and services at TE Connectivity, and Joe Mullin, senior vice president of DAS engineering at neutral-host operator InSite Wireless LLC (which operates 20 stadium DAS installations, including the DAS at Target Stadium in Minneapolis, home of the Minnesota Twins) discuss the momentum in in-stadium wireless coverage with RCR’s Kelly Hill.
