Barclays Promises State-of-the-Art Wireless To Meet Fans Expectations
All Brooklyn Nets News
Regular readers of NoLandGrab know we don't normally have much good to say about Bruce Ratner's basketball arena, but here's an exception — they're kindly providing a means for fans to entertain themselves when the Nets are down 30 midway through the third quarter.
To say wireless coverage at NBA arenas is spotty is being kind. They weren’t built for it and the nooks and crannies of such large spaces, filled with thick concrete walls, is not an ideal environment. But Barclays Center was built with wireless in mind and Tuesday, the team announced it’s chosen a company to design, install and operate the arena network.
ExteNet Systems of Illinois will set up a a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) network in the newly constructed arena that will meet “rising expectations in fan demand”, says the company.
