Capacity crowds will be the norm at Citi Field during the fall baseball
classic—and cellular connectivity will be an integral part of the
experience—with all of the major North American wireless service
providers supporting subscribers through the CommScope FlexWave®
Prism and InterReach®
Fusion system.
The DAS deployment at Citi Field provides 850 MHz, 1900 MHz, AWS, and
700 MHz frequencies to deliver 3G and 4G mobile services for fans at the
41,000-seat stadium. The deployment covers the stadium seating areas,
luxury boxes, walkways and parking areas at the ballpark in Queens.
FlexWave Prism features modular, high-power remote units to deliver the
performance and frequency bands needed in each location. The InterReach
Fusion system is a low-power solution that delivers strategic and
pin-point services to interior portions of the stadium.
"Fans and media expect seamless cellular coverage at major sporting
events, and DAS systems deliver that," said Mike Shumate, vice
president, Distributed Coverage and Capacity Solutions, CommScope. "Our
FlexWave Prism and InterReach Fusion digital DAS products are powerful
yet cost-effective solutions for the mobile coverage and capacity
challenges at crowded venues like Citi Field. We are proud that Citi
Field is part of a long list of major stadiums around the world where
our DAS solutions support capacity crowds with strong and pervasive
mobile services."
