With
the beginning of fall comes the start of football season, which brings many
people to the jam packed stadiums to watch their favorite teams play. While
this is a favorite American pastime, it can also be stressful if you get
separated from your group and have no cell phone service. This often happens
when thousands of people are packed into a sports arena all trying to use the
same network. This is why AT&T has upgraded their 4G LTE Distributed
Antenna System in Arkansas’ Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
"When our customers head out to the stadium
to cheer on the home team, we want them to have a great network experience
throughout the game no matter what they're doing – whether that's making a
call, checking email, downloading apps or surfing the Internet," said Ed Drilling, president of AT&T Arkansas. "With initiatives like
Project VIP, we're continuing to invest in the wireless network, and providing
enhanced wireless coverage at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is just one
way that we're investing in Arkansas."
The upgraded DAS installation includes many strategically-placed
antennas that will distribute AT&T’s wireless network coverage throughout
the stadium. DAS has the ability to provide enhanced, consistent wireless
coverage to customers in indoor or outdoor spaces where geographical
limitations – terrain, building construction, etc. – or crowd density might
otherwise prevent an optimal wireless experience.
"Fans want to be able to immediately share
those special moments during Razorback games with friends and family – whether
that's by sending a photo, a video, a text message, or making a call," said University of Arkansas Vice
Chancellor and Director of Athletics Jeff Long. "As part of our efforts to enhance the
overall Razorback game day experience, it is important we engage our fans
through their wireless device. We appreciate AT&T's significant investment
and commitment to providing Razorback fans with the best possible wireless
experience."
