“We’re excited to bring our technology to this high profile venue.” said John Mezzalingua, CEO of JMA.
JMA has extensive experience delivering advanced DAS systems with networks deployed at major venues around the world including high profile sports venues such as new Levi Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers and the 2016 Super Bowl, Angel Stadium of Anaheim and Juventus Stadium in Italy.
JMA’s DAS solution is being deployed across the entire Lincoln Financial Field venue, providing a complete solution that offers many optimization features to increase sector capacity and data throughput. The system is designed to enable remote monitoring and recording of sector performance. These tools allow changes to be applied immediately, enabling adaptions to consistently maximize performance.
Deployment timing in venues are critical in saving costs and minimizing disruption. JMA leads the industry in optimizing commissioning, enabling the venue to be fully operational in a matter of hours, instead of days. In venues like Lincoln Financial Field JMA has commissioned DAS networks in less than 8 hours, estimated to be 75% faster than any other supplier.
The JMA solution addressed the needs of Lincoln Financial Field’s capacity and coverage utilizing several key capabilities and components from JMA that include:
- Remote Spectral Monitoring – provides virtual site optimization with live traffic, allowing engineers to remotely monitor or record an event and optimize their network instantaneously.
- Fiber Saving Technology – system uses a single fiber cable; delivering a cost-effective infrastructure solution that simplifies the installation, while using 50% less fiber than the industry standard.
- High Power and Low Power Remotes - JMA’s DAS enables the use and management of both remotes through the one singular system. This provides ample coverage and capacity both inside and outside the stadium, covering fans from tailgating to spectating.
- Unique Stadium Antenna - featuring a low Vertical and Horizontal Beam width in a small package, a technology only offered by JMA.
