CommScope to Enable 5G and CBRS at AT&T Center
CommScope announced it has been selected by Spurs Sports & Entertainment (SS&E) as the provider for its next generation mobile connectivity transformation at AT&T Center, home of the San Antonio Spurs. CommScope’s in-building wireless solutions will deliver dedicated 4G, 5G, and private wireless network access. These solutions will allow fans and concert goers to enjoy an immersive experience while providing operational efficiency for the venue and vendors.
“We are thrilled to have CommScope equip AT&T Center with a high speed and reliable network solution that allows us to realize cost savings while providing an enhanced fan experience”
With CommScope’s ERA All-Digital DAS, the AT&T Center will increase its mobile broadband wireless capacity to provide an augmented fan experience utilizing ultra-wideband 5G. This enables fans to enjoy frictionless event-day conveniences such as immersive content, paperless entry, cashless payments, and in-seat ordering with their smartphones. They will also experience low latency interaction when they engage with experiences through the recently launched official Spurs Mobile App.
“All these capabilities require venues to provide fast and reliable wireless networks. CommScope is honored to provide our premier ERA DAS platform and CBRS solutions for the Spurs to enable these innovative offerings for their fans at AT&T Center,” stated Darla Braun, SVP Sales and Business Development, CommScope.
