MatSing, the pioneer and innovator of high-capacity lens antenna technology, has announced its successful expansion at AT&T Stadium that’s been debuting during the 2024 NFL season. MatSing’s multibeam lens antennas will maximize the use of C-Band spectrum for wireless carriers at the iconic stadium, aiming to enhance the mobile experience for fans and patrons connected by AT&T.
“AT&T Stadium hosts over 300 events annually, including Dallas Cowboys football, NCAA football and basketball games, soccer matches, and numerous concerts and other sporting events,” says Dallas Cowboys CIO, Matthew Messick. “In 2021, we installed 20 MatSing lens antennas in four strategic ceiling locations to provide a multi-carrier mobility network supporting all low and mid-band spectrum. With the addition of 14 more lens antennas, we are now overlaying C-Band to deliver high-capacity connectivity throughout the stadium. Our initial choice of lens antennas was based on our analysis showing better performance and improved economics compared to under-the-seat and traditional panel antennas, and I am pleased to say these benefits extend to C-Band.”
“The Dallas Cowboys and AT&T Stadium were early adopters of our lens antenna technology and are now benefiting from the efficient C-Band overlay, which is a key part of our go-to-market strategy,” explains MatSing CEO, Bo Larsson. “With C-Band commercialization in venues fully underway, this is an effective way for mobile carriers and network providers to increase sectorization and expand their service with high-capacity 5G. At AT&T Stadium, we have over 300 sectors enabled, ensuring that the 85,000-plus people inside the venue can always stay connected, share their experiences in real-time, and upload video content from anywhere in the venue.”
The C-Band overlay was ready in time for the Cowboys’ home opener against the New Orleans Saints. The future-proof network, leveraging a mix of 24-beam and 48-beam lens antennas, is delivering a seamless and high-quality user connection.
