— Wireless Services selects SOLiD ALLIANCE
in-building DAS to provide seamless 5G C-Band coverage for the
largest single exhibit space in the U.S.—
DALLAS, May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- SOLiD, the leader in cellular in-building mobile
coverage, today announced that systems integrator Wireless
Services selected the SOLiD ALLIANCE 5G distributed antenna system
(DAS) to enhance 5G connectivity in the New Orleans Ernest N.
Morial Convention Center (NOENMCC). The new DAS platform adds
5G C-Band support to ensure sufficient bandwidth and coverage for
convention center attendees, anticipated to exceed 800,000 in
2024.
The DAS expansion includes SOLiD ALLIANCE Mid-Band
HROU_4000 equipment to provide neutral-host connectivity with
major mobile service providers operating in mid-band 5G. The
ALLIANCE HROU_4000 DAS remotes will enable 2x2 multiple input,
multiple output (MIMO) support for the 3.45 GHz and 3.7 GHz C-Band
spectrum over a single fiber strand, delivering 760 MHz of
fully occupied bandwidth.
As networks adopt additional 5G spectrum, legacy DAS
architecture requires updates to support new frequency bands, as
well as time division duplexing (TDD) timing sequence, which is
critical for precise synchronization in 5G networks. SOLiD's
ALLIANCE 5G DAS platform offers the simplest, most reliable
TDD operation, with synchronization occurring closer to the mobile
device for robust reliability and peak performance.
"Steeped in the history and culture of New Orleans, our award-winning Convention
Center delivers remarkable experiences infused with southern
hospitality," said Michael J.
Sawaya, president and CEO of NOENMCC. "This in-building
communications technology investment is a strategic part of our
significant capital improvement project designed to meet the
highest possible technology and sustainability standards to delight
exhibitors and attendees alike."
"At Wireless Services, we are gratified to partner with SOLiD as
we continue our legacy of reliable wireless deployments in large,
complex public venues," said Aron
Matassa, partner/CEO, Wireless Services. "Based on our past
experience working with SOLiD, we are confident that the ALLIANCE
5G DAS platform will deliver on the promise of pervasive 5G
coverage throughout the New
Orleans convention center."
"With 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space under one roof
and widely fluctuating capacity needs, this project presents
considerable challenges for in-building connectivity," said
Scott Deweese, president of SOLiD
Americas. "The SOLiD ALLIANCE 5G DAS offers a modular, scalable
design to support massive mobile traffic demands and simplify
future technology evolution, improving overall service quality to
transform the hospitality guest experience."
The ALLIANCE Mid-Band HROU_4000 deployment expands on existing
SOLiD DAS deployments that provide commercial and public safety
communications at the NOENMCC. In addition to delivering affordable
high performance, SOLiD equipment also offers industry-leading
sustainability, making it an ideal choice for the gold-level
LEED-certified convention center.
DAS system upgrades are scheduled to be completed before
important upcoming events at the convention center, including
activities related to the 2025 Super Bowl, which will be held
nearby.
