MatSing, the pioneer and innovator of high-capacity lens antennas, has announced that its latest deployment, delivering improved connectivity at the PNC Arena, is ready for the puck to drop at the Carolina Hurricanes’ home opener. As Canes fans head to the arena to watch the faceoff against the Ottawa Senators, they will enjoy advanced mobile connectivity to complement their venue experience.
In advance of the regular NHL season, 12 of MatSing’s spherical lens antennas (eight MS-4.2DB60-T antennas and four MS-SB34-T antennas) have been installed at the PNC Arena, providing low-band and mid-band connectivity in the entire venue. The network, covering the stands and floor, will ensure the capacity audience of 18,680 receives high-quality 5G signals from their carriers during games. Music fans, enjoying the performance on the floor, will get the same advanced 5G service from their carriers that others receive in the stands.
“Social media activity, fantasy updates, and live-video feed have become essential components of any gameday experience,” explained Bo Larsson, CEO of MatSing. “And as new technologies and apps tailored for venues and fans are introduced, the need for high-capacity and fast-speed connectivity increases exponentially year-over-year. MatSing’s lens antenna technology is known to exceed connectivity expectations by providing industry-leading network performance, as evidenced by our presence in 50% of NFL stadiums and 35% of NBA and NHL arenas combined. We are thankful to all the parties involved in the network design and build at the PNC Arena. Kudos to our partner Beam Wireless, who selected our antennas for the venue and successfully integrated our technology into the arena’s mobile network.”
MatSing leverages patented light-weight metamaterials and unique design to distinguish its high-performance lens multi-beam antennas. To deliver high sectorization without signal interference, a smaller number of antenna locations are typically required to deliver venue-wide connectivity. MatSing works with carriers, neutral-host operators, infrastructure providers, and venues to deliver upwards of 200 sectors indoors, ensuring the highest capacity connectivity in the industry.
