Only JMA’s Distributed Antenna System is designed to stay ahead of the rapidly increasing data demand, as proven on February 11th at the world’s largest sporting event.
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 22, 2024) — JMA Wireless (JMA), a global leader in wireless communications and the first choice for professional sports venues, delivered unsurpassed connectivity for tens of thousands of fans Feb. 11 at Las Vegas’s Allegiant Stadium with its world-class, sustainable Distributed Antenna System (DAS).
“Las Vegas has become the capital of the world for large-scale sporting events, and to run those events effectively and provide a premium experience for our guests, we need the best wireless network in the world,” Las Vegas Raiders Vice President for Technology Matt Pasco said. “Connectivity is like running water: It must be plentiful for everyone, it always needs to work, it must be seamless. JMA and their technology has performed extremely well in the building and across our campus. I’ll put this building up against any in sports in terms of performance and reliability.”
Since the system was deployed in 2019, data usage at the world’s largest sporting event has increased more than four times. Allegiant Stadium’s JMA DAS was designed to handle this and was easily upgraded in the last year to add C-Band, delivering a 10X speed increase for fans and allowing them to share their experience on social media faster than ever before with download speeds of 1.6 Gbps.
“While the data fans demand is constantly changing — our DAS doesn’t have to,” said JMA CEO John Mezzalingua. “Only JMA’s DAS is designed to handle these types of system improvements, eliminating the dreaded rip-and-replace approach required by others. With an average life of 12+ years, JMA’s DAS is the most sustainable in the world.”
High performance doesn’t mean high power consumption. Using advanced RF technology that provides unmatched power efficiency, JMA’s DAS delivers a 50% smaller carbon footprint for Allegiant Stadium than other solutions. Combining power efficiency with the upgradability to significantly extend system life and JMA’s FUZE technology to eliminate separate power cables, JMA’s solution is the most sustainable a venue can select.
