SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 2, 2007 -- LGC
Wireless, the leader in advanced in-building wireless systems, today
announced that its InterReach
Unison® system will enable clear and uninterrupted cell phone
coverage during the NCAA® Men's Final Four® event at the Georgia Dome
in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 31 and April 2.
Indoor spaces like the Georgia Dome often don't receive adequate cellular
coverage and call capacity from external cell sites, and the Georgia World
Congress Center Authority (WCCA) -- operators of the Georgia Dome, Georgia
World Congress Center and Centennial Park -- wanted to ensure clear,
high-capacity coverage inside the 72,000-seat, 1.6 million-square-foot
facility for sold-out events like the NCAA Men's Final Four. To remedy the
problem, Convention Center Long Distance (CCLD), WCCA's telecommunications
provider, worked with LGC Wireless to deploy its InterReach Unison system,
which delivers pervasive cellular coverage with high call capacity in
buildings of any size.
"As the world's leading supplier of in-building cellular coverage solutions
for major airports, stadiums and other large public facilities, LGC's
experience and advanced technologies make it easy for customers like the
Georgia Dome to deliver the coverage their customers demand," said John
Spindler, vice president of marketing at LGC Wireless. "LGC continues to
evolve its industry-leading technology with InterReach
Fusion, which further simplifies deployment and reduces costs for
facilities of all sizes."
The Unison system in Georgia Dome supports 850MHz iDen services for Sprint
Nextel subscribers. It includes 6 Main Hubs, 19 Expansion Hubs, and 73
remote antenna units (RAUs).
