MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- TE Connectivity
(TE), a world leader in connectivity, today announced that it has
deployed its FlexWave Prism distributed antenna system (DAS) to
deliver wireless services at Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan. The deployment supported
capacity crowds at the first European Games held at the 68,000-seat
stadium between June 12 and 28,
2015.
TE provided its FlexWave digital DAS to Mikrolink Azerbaijan,
the system integrator on the project. The DAS supports 32 sectors
of 900, 1800, and 2100 MHz 2G, 3G, and 4G services for three mobile
operators and ensured that capacity crowds at the Games received
strong and consistent mobile services throughout the event.
"TE's digital DAS gave us the performance and flexibility we
needed to deliver high-quality wireless services to our mobile
operator customers," said Tamer Pakel, general manager of Mikrolink
Azerbaijan. "The TE team was highly professional and provided the
technology and expertise to ensure a successful project."
The FlexWave Prism DAS deployment includes 42 remote units that
deliver coverage and capacity for the stadium bowl, back-of-house
areas and parking area at Olympic Stadium. At peak usage, the
system handled 40GB of download traffic, 15GB of upload traffic,
and 4,000 simultaneous users on 3G for one carrier alone.
"FlexWave Prism distributed antenna system has rapidly become
the DAS solution of choice for major stadiums all over the world,
and Olympic Stadium is the latest in a long list of venues we have
covered," said Peter Wraight, vice
president and general manager of TE Wireless. "The FlexWave Prism
DAS digital transport and high-capacity, high-power remote units
provide a robust, multi-operator wireless solution that's a
cost-effective investment for large public venues."
