New State-of-the-Art Wireless Network Ensures Premium Guest Experience at Mohegan Sun
RF Connect completes deployment to provide cellular coverage and capacity for the three major nationwide mobile operators inside Mohegan Sun’s venues
Mohegan Sun, one of the premier resort destinations in the United States, has deployed a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) to power seamless wireless coverage and enhanced capacity for guests across key locations, including Mohegan Sun Arena and the gaming and convention facilities at Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sky. This next-generation network, led by RF Connect, an integrator specializing in wireless connectivity, ensures superior smart device connectivity and supports the three major cellular carriers, offering an unrivaled user experience for all visitors.
Designed to accommodate today’s requirement for ubiquitous high-speed connectivity, the DAS is one of only a handful of deployments nationwide to deliver full 5G C-band ultra-wideband spectrum service for T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon – raising the bar for in-building wireless performance. Whether attending a world-class event at the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena, participating at a convention, or gaming within Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sky, guests can now enjoy uninterrupted, high-speed mobile connectivity throughout their visit.
“Our investment in this advanced network solution underscores Mohegan Sun’s commitment to delivering an exceptional guest experience,” said John Ware, VP, Global IT Services & Support at Mohegan. “With support from three major carriers, this system ensures that our guests stay connected with fast and reliable service while enjoying all that Mohegan Sun has to offer.”
The deployment reflects a venue-carrier partnership in which Mohegan Sun owns and operates the DAS infrastructure – fully funded by participating cellular carriers. This unique collaborative approach enables the resort to offer best-in-class connectivity without impacting operational budgets while empowering cellular carriers to serve their customers.
With over 20 years of experience in cellular-based wireless networks, RF Connect designed the DAS to manage capacity and ensure consistent bandwidth and user experience – even when thousands of guests simultaneously use their mobile devices to stream, post, and access data-intensive applications during events and conventions. Native Sons Ltd., a Connecticut-based contractor which performs electrical, life safety and low voltage installations with an emphasis on Native American projects, led the on-site implementation of network infrastructure.
“Mohegan Sun challenged us to meet a wide range of performance, aesthetic and business standards befitting a destination resort committed to delivering an unparalleled guest experience – and we delivered,” said Frank Destito, Market Development Director at RF Connect. “This project is a perfect example of how outside-the-box thinking and best-of-breed partnerships converge to produce extraordinary outcomes. We’re immensely proud and grateful.”
Covering more than 3 million square feet, the launch of this cutting-edge DAS solution highlights Mohegan Sun’s leadership in technology innovation within the hospitality and gaming industry. By embracing the latest advancements in wireless connectivity, Mohegan Sun continues to set the bar for delivering an unparalleled resort experience.
