The InnerWireless system helps eliminate signal dead spots and facilitates the rapidly expanding number of wireless applications and devices.
The system acts like a wireless utility, supporting virtually any wireless protocol or device, including wireless LANs, personal communications services (PCS), cell phones, PDAs and two-way radios for property maintenance and security.
Barry Silberman, executive vice president of arena development, operations and entertainment, Charlotte Bobcats, said: "InnerWireless serves all of our wireless communication needs, eliminating blind spots, and ensuring that first responders can communicate effectively throughout the arena in the event of an emergency.
“We're also excited that InnerWireless will support wireless applications ranging from food service and ticket management to complete media portability and wireless building automation systems."
Owned by the city of Charlotte, the 780,000-square-foot arena is operated by the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats and also is home to the WNBA's Charlotte Sting.
The $200million facility is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2005, and in addition to pro basketball, it will host college basketball games and tournaments, concerts and family shows.
