Corning MobileAccess, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW)
Telecommunications segment, announced today that the New Orleans
Ernest N. Morial Convention Center has implemented the company’s
distributed antenna system (DAS) throughout the facility – in time
for the International CTIA® WIRELESS 2012 conference. The solution
will provide the more than 40,000 visitors expected to attend this
year’s show with fast, uninterrupted access to voice and data
throughout the convention center. The DAS solution was selected,
designed, and installed by Gulf Coast Real Estate Consultants
(GCREC), a site management company, and Wireless Services (WS),
which specializes in RF design and installation of DAS
solutions.
The convention center is the fifth-largest facility of its kind
in the United States, and the DAS will extend and boost coverage
throughout the 1.1 million-square-foot complex. The site routinely
hosts tens of thousands of visitors simultaneously, who rely
heavily on smartphones. The new Corning DAS will greatly enhance
wireless voice and data service across all carrier networks,
including those running 4G LTE. The DAS will also support public
safety and operational communications within the extensive
convention center.
“We knew we needed a powerful solution that would be able to
handle heavy voice and data traffic across a huge area and serve
multiple operators. Our partners, GCREC and WS, helped us find the
solution we needed in the Corning MobileAccess DAS,” said Paul
O’Connell, director of technology services, New Orleans Ernest N.
Morial Convention Center. “The bottom line is that this DAS makes
our convention center the most advanced facility of its kind in
terms of cellular coverage.”
“The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center was one of
the first convention centers in the country to adopt a DAS more
than 10 years ago, but that system was not equipped to handle
current 4G capabilities, or increased smartphone usage and
ultra-wideband SMR,” said Julio Dumas, managing partner, GCREC.
“Our technical team (WS) worked closely with the convention center
to design a comprehensive DAS with brand new, best-in-class
technology from Corning to address the communications needs of
employees and patrons in this massive facility, and ensure
consistent RF capacity and coverage.”
Corning MobileAccess’ DAS brings outdoor cellular signals
indoors and distributes them through large facilities, resulting in
enhanced wireless coverage and faster data transfer. The solution
supports all major U.S. wireless carriers on a single
infrastructure and easily accommodates the addition of capacity and
services as needed.
“We’re thrilled to be able to provide always-on cellular
connectivity to the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center
with our wireless operator and integrator community,” said Mike
Genovese, senior vice president, Wireless Networks and New Business
Development, Corning Cable Systems. “Our solution is ideal for
facilities of this size and topology because of its flexible remote
power options and advanced cabling offering for uninterrupted
coverage and capacity, a combination that is bound to make
conference attendees and visitors very happy.”
The convention center is one of several New Orleans locations
where Corning has installed its DAS. Six area hotels have also
implemented the system to provide reliable coverage for guests in
every area of their facilities.
Corning MobileAccess will be showcasing the company’s new,
enhanced in-building portfolio in booth # 5205 at International
CTIA® WIRELESS 2012, May 8-10. Interested parties can register at
the booth to participate in tours of the convention center’s new
DAS throughout the show. Tours will be led by GCREC and WS
representatives.
