Geoverse and 7 Cedars Casino Announce Private LTE Solution to be Deployed by Year End
October 10 2019 - 3:50PM
Back in 1995 when the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe first opened the 7
Cedars Casino in Sequim, WA, few people had cell phones and
customers used pay phones to make calls from the casino. Times have
definitely changed. Today, tech-savvy customers from the Seattle
area always want to be connected. This is a problem for the casino
resort that currently has limited wireless coverage.

For the 7 Cedars Casino, the timing of the Federal
Communications Commission’s (FCC) recent approval of the deployment
of Citizens Band Radio Services (CBRS) was perfect. Concurrently
with the FCC announcement, 7 Cedars signed a contract with Geoverse
for a Private LTE solution for the casino, three restaurants and
the new $40 million luxury hotel that will open in May 2020. The
network will provide up to 5-bars of connectivity and support a
wide range of new applications and Internet of Things (IoT)
devices.
“Geoverse has extensive industry experience installing and
maintaining carrier-grade wireless networks,” says Glenn Smithson,
General Manager of 7 Cedars Casino. “They also understand our
vision of providing personalized services focused on improving the
end-to-end customer experience. Our customers will be connected to
guest services via iPads provided in their rooms or by using apps
on their own devices. We will offer services such as digital
reservations, mobile check-in, wireless keys using the customers’
own cell phone and a personal mobile concierge in addition to
ubiquitous wireless service throughout the casino and hotel. Our
goal is to provide the best guest experience in the Olympic
Peninsula and the Geoverse solution is key to our strategy.”
Geoverse is a licensed mobile network operator that is creating
and managing the end-to-end Private LTE solution for 7 Cedars
Casino. The solution provides highly reliable and secure
communication services as well as robust application capabilities
for online gaming, smart building applications and IoT devices.
Geoverse also has the scalability and flexibility to expand as new
buildings are added and to upgrade to next generation functionality
such as 5G.
“7 Cedars Casino is a forward-thinking, innovative organization
that has a 25-year track record of embracing change to enhance its
customer experience and optimize its business, says Rod Nelson,
Chief Executive Officer of Geoverse. “Many companies take a wait
and see attitude towards new opportunities or technologies but not
7 Cedars. They understand their customers and jumped at the
opportunity to provide carrier-grade wireless service in their
casino and restaurants. And next summer they are adding an entirely
new customer experience with the opening of their luxury
hotel.”
