American Tower Corp. said it has deployed a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) network solution at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The DAS network will facilitate rising wireless communication and data activity throughout the 480-acre motorsports complex. The DAS network, owned and operated by American Tower, will support the increased wireless traffic resulting from the wide attendance at the venue.
The network, with several hundred antennas, is capable of hosting multiple carriers and features dedicated backup power and an electrical distribution system that allows for multiple remote generators to supply power to transmission equipment installed throughout the grandstands, American Tower said in a statement.
“Our goal at the Daytona International Speedway was to build a network that not only met the carriers’ coverage and capacity requirements but also enabled a multitude of enterprise services. With the successful deployment of the network, our carrier partners are able to offer market-leading 4G services while their customers experience unprecedented cellular performance,” said Gerard Ainsztein, American Tower’s senior vice president, managed networks.
Daytona International Speedway, known as the World Center of Racing, is owned and operated by the International Speedway Corp.
