Extending High-Capacity 4G Coverage to the Westgate
Entertainment District
TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Galtronics
Corporation Ltd., a Baylin Technologies Company (TSX: BYL), has
provided its state-of-the-art antennas for a new distributed
antenna system ("DAS") which upgrades cellular voice and data
coverage from 2G to 4G at the Gila River Arena and Westgate
Entertainment District. The system is owned and operated by
Crown Castle, the industry leader in the design, development, and
execution of multi-carrier DAS, a type of small cell solution.
Galtronics' EXTENT™ antennas were chosen for the upgrade due to
their leading RF performance and future-proof design covering the
entire frequency range of 698-960/1710-2700 MHz. Antennas
implemented in the Gila River Arena DAS include the EXTENT™ D5777i
30 degree/30 degree antenna, which provides a very narrow-beamwidth
that allows RF engineers to design the network with more sectors in
order to support high capacity; and the EXTENT™ D5501i 30
degree/60 degree narrow beamwidth Panel Antenna, which is a
broadband, directional single-sector MIMO antenna designed with
high-capacity venues such as stadiums or campuses in mind.
"We are pleased that our innovative, award-winning antennas,
which were instrumental in supporting record-breaking wireless
usage in the Big Game, and also are part of the wireless DAS
enhancements at the Gila River Arena located directly across the
street from the University of Phoenix
Stadium," said Ephraim Ulmer,
President and CEO of Galtronics. "Antennas are critical components
that enable wireless systems to work.
"Antennas are similar to speakers in a high-end stereo system:
great speakers will make many systems sound excellent and perform
well, but low-quality speakers will make even the best system sound
terrible," Ulmer added. "The same concept applies to antennas,
which have to handle the physical dimensions and interfaces of
two-way communication for high-speed wireless connectivity, and the
up- and downloading of data between user devices and the
distributed antenna system."
Gila River Arena, which opened in
2003, has hosted five NHL Playoff series including the 2012 Western
Conference Final. With a capacity of more than 18,000, it forms the
heart of the Westgate Entertainment District, about 20 miles west
of downtown Phoenix. The district
attracts more than 22 million visitors each year who will now have
access to high speed 4G wireless network.
