Sprint Network Upgrades Remain in Detroit After Super Bowl
Matt Hamblen writes on ComputerWorld:
Sprint Nextel Corp. is bolstering communications networks in Detroit in time for Sunday’s Super Bowl XL, but the added network capacity won’t disappear when the game’s over.
Three wireless networks and a 114-mile fiber-optic network will be in place by game time to serve 100,000 fans converging on the city and 90 million TV viewers, Sprint officials said.
Sprint has completed a data distribution system to support Ford Field, Cobo Hall, the Jose Louis arena and downtown Detroit. Its construction has been under way for a year and will be used on game day primarily to authenticate tickets at the field and remote areas, said John Polivka, a Sprint spokesman.
