With Super Bowl LIV just around the corner, guests of ten upper-echelon Miami Beach hotels will be expecting reliability in their mobile devices to live stream the game, connect with other fans, and share their experience with friends and family. Connectivity Wireless has been at the epicenter of preparations for the big game having installed state-of-the-art cellular distributed network solutions at the following properties: The Epic Hotel, The Setai in Miami Beach, The Victor, Hotel at the Villa Casa Casuarina (former Versace Mansion), The Breakwater, The Edison, The Retro, The Deco, The Strand and The Tropical.
To complete the installations in time for the game, Connectivity Wireless effectuated an aggressive 90-day build timeline. The project designs divided the properties among three separate distributed networks:
- The Epic Hotel utilizes a JMA DAS
- The Setai hotel utilizes a SOLiD DAS
- The Ocean Drive project (comprising the remaining eight hotels) utilizes a DRAN solution and centralized headends
Collectively, the projects leverage 25,450 feet of fiber, 54,595 feet of coaxial cable, and 507 antennas to provide game day-worthy wireless coverage across 2.1 million square feet.
Super Bowl Host Committee chairman Rodney Barreto estimates that more than 200,000 people will travel to Miami for the event and related game-day activities in addition to the 65,000 fans that are expected to attend the game.
