The Solution
The Big Game was, of course, the driving motivator for the upgrade, but we built the network with the future in mind. By using a neutral host infrastructure, we made it easy for additional wireless carriers to be accommodated without having to install separate systems.
And, with the nearly limitless capacity of fiber, we ensured that the stadium and surrounding venues will continue to be served well beyond the Big Game.
Why Crown Castle?
We have nearly 15 years of experience implementing SCS in universities and other communities, including dense urban centers and residential neighborhoods.

Due to the sheer wireless data capacity required to host an event like the Big Game, a fiber optic foundation was the only viable option. After installing the fiber network, we deployed a series of both indoor and outdoor small cell solution (SCS) networks—being careful to integrate them with the existing macro towers and rooftop installations.
We placed hundreds of nodes across the stadium, arena, hotel, parking lot, and entertainment district. Each node was strategically placed to provide overlapping areas of coverage— resulting in higher bandwidth for more fans in a given area.
