Corning MobileAccess, part of Corning Incorporated’s (NYSE:GLW)
Telecommunications segment, announced that its distributed antenna
systems (DAS) have been deployed at major locations in Tampa, Fla.,
and Charlotte, N.C., in support of the 2012 Republican and
Democratic national conventions.
In all, Corning MobileAccess’ solutions provide continuous
wireless access and improved cellular coverage in 12 key places –
including convention centers and hotels – in the two cities where
the national conventions are being held.
“The large spikes in wireless usage can create havoc with
wireless service under the best conditions, let alone inside areas
that are not normally conducive to receiving strong signals,” said
Mike Genovese, senior vice president, Wireless Networks and New
Business Development, Corning Cable Systems. “Corning is solving
this problem by greatly enhancing wireless coverage in many of the
places where convention attendees will be congregating. In doing
so, we’re supporting carriers’ efforts to provide convention goers
with uninterrupted, exceptional wireless service.”
The DAS in the Tampa Convention Center covers the facility’s
600,000 square feet. The convention center serves as a hub for the
thousands of media representatives covering the 2012 Republican
National Convention.
“The DAS at Tampa Convention Center is a state-of-the-art system
that allows these journalists to stay connected, file stories and
more. Beyond this event, it’s a system that will continue to serve
all convention center guests for years to come,” said Rick
Hamilton, director, Tampa Convention Center.
Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) deployed the
Corning MobileAccess DAS to provide cellular coverage and capacity
throughout 1.8 million square feet of terminal space. Wireless
Services, a company that specializes in RF design and installation,
designed and installed the DAS at CLT.
“We worked very closely with representatives at CLT to provide
the airport with a customized, comprehensive solution to
successfully support the large influx of wireless communications
that will take place during the convention and beyond,” said Julio
Dumas, managing partner, Wireless Services. “The Corning
MobileAccess technology proved to be the best option for several
reasons, including its support of the latest wireless technologies,
such as 4G LTE MIMO, and its flexibility and modularity, which
allows for the addition of more carriers and services as necessary
without impacting existing infrastructure or services.”
