“Everyone knows Las Vegas is a hub for the biggest sports and
entertainment events in the world, especially with the return of
the Las Vegas Grand Prix late last year,” said Ulf Ewaldsson,
President of Technology, T-Mobile. “That’s why we set the bar high
and invested early in extensive permanent upgrades across the
region, so T-Mobile customers can stay connected better than ever
before, not just during one event, but year-round.”
With an estimated 450,000 visitors expected to flood Sin City,
T-Mobile customers can once again rely on the permanent upgrades
T-Mobile made in part for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, helping locals
and visitors on the Un-carrier’s network stay better connected than
ever before. Recent New Year’s celebrations were another great
testing ground for T-Mobile. With more than 400,000 people
attending celebrations along the Strip, the Un-carrier saw a 22%
increase in 5G traffic compared to 2023 with a 42% increase in
download throughput. It’s the perfect example of how T-Mobile’s
network is built to handle Vegas crowds.
Here's how T-Mobile is supporting the Big Game with its
permanent upgrades inside Allegiant Stadium:
- 62 iDAS sectors inside the stadium with 3 sectors covering the
field, covering the entire stadium with Ultra Capacity 5G.
- 7 oDAS sectors servicing areas just outside the stadium for
better coverage at celebrations happening around the stadium.
- mmWave enhancements both inside and outside the stadium, so
fans on T-Mobile’s network can quickly update their social feeds,
friends and family on the latest plays with our fastest possible 5G
speeds.
The Un-carrier is also supporting key celebration locations with
temporary enhancements in a few additional locations:
- Fountains of Bellagio to support users looking to catch a
glimpse of the broadcast stage.
- Mandalay Bay Parking Garage to better support tailgaters at
Allegiant Stadium. Pass the hot dogs!
- Wynn Parking Garage for enhanced coverage supporting activities
around the Sphere.
- Brooklyn Bowl enhancements to up the network experience at the
NFL House hospitality zone.
Since the Las Vegas Grand Prix in November, T-Mobile has made
additional permanent upgrades at additional iconic Las Vegas
locations to better support locals and those visiting for the Big
Game, bringing the total number of permanently upgraded locations
in the last year up to 25. These include:
- Cosmopolitan and Fontainebleau upgrades enhance the network
experience for T-Mobile customers inside both locations.
- Harry Reid International Airport mmWave upgrades ensure
travelers on T-Mobile’s network have access to our fastest 5G
speeds while making their way through the airport.
- 17 more small cell sites added across the city.
T-Mobile is the fastest mobile network in Nevada (and 46 other
states, plus the District of Columbia) with the best mobile video
experience – according to Ookla and Opensignal – so fans across
the nation who can’t make it to the Big Game can still catch every
play from their smartphone with the power of T-Mobile 5G.
