MINNEAPOLIS, Jul 21, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ADC (NASDAQ: ADCT) (www.adc.com) today announced that its InterReach Fusion(R) and FlexWave(TM) Prism distributed antenna systems (DAS) have been deployed to provide high-capacity cellular services throughout Texas Tech University's Jones AT&T Stadium. Deployed after Phase I construction of an $84 million renovation to the 52,000-seat stadium (which included construction of a new, 175,000 square foot West Side Stadium Building), the ADC DAS ensures that any AT&T subscriber within the complex can place calls and use mobile broadband services, even during capacity-crowd events.
"We often have more than 50,000 fans in our stadium for a game and they had problems placing calls or had calls drop," said David Hougland, director of sports broadcasting for Texas Tech University. "Now, with the ADC system, we have the capacity to handle the call needs of our fans."
The ADC systems deployed at the stadium include a combination of the FlexWave Prism higher power nodes and the InterReach Fusion low power nodes. The systems support 850 and 1900 MHz frequencies for users of AT&T's 2G and 3G mobile voice and data services. In all, the systems divide coverage into nine specific sectors to ensure maximum frequency re-use and maximum available bandwidth to any portion of the stadium.
"Our combination of Prism and Fusion deliver a one-two punch to the capacity challenges at Texas Tech," said John Spindler, vice president of product management for ADC. "The Prism remote units cover large areas of the stadium seating, while the Fusion system brings coverage inside the West Side Stadium Building. This is a great example of how ADC's broad product portfolio allows us to create precision coverage and capacity solutions for any venue."
