At the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas—beneath the stunning vaulted canopy featuring the largest LED screen in the world—visitors navigate through the lively casinos, restaurants, and hotels in downtown Las Vegas Nevada. The venue features a spectacular light show with a concert-quality sound system and hosts over 25 million people annually.

Fremont Experience can be a challenging physical venue for reliable cellular coverage. The bustling outdoor area poses a significant challenge for modern RF connectivity: maintaining consistent, high-speed 5G coverage in a setting filled with dense buildings, large crowds, and a massive overhead structure. These unique conditions slow and stall cellular connections:

1. Giant LED Roof: The well-known canopy acts as a massive RF barrier, like a Faraday cage, blocking any cellular signals that originate from outside the area from reaching mobile users on the street.
2. Surrounding Buildings: The tall hotels and casinos lining both sides of the street block cellular signals, causing them to significantly slow and weaken.
3. High User Density: Everyone is trying to use their phones at the same time for data-heavy activities which requires robust network capacity with low-latency.

SureCall’s Horizon 5G mmWave booster, visible from the entrance facing the zip-liners, has greatly enhanced network coverage and capacity since it was deployed. Horizon captures and amplifies existing 5G mmWave signals (27.5-28.35 GHz), even when blocked by obstructions, to extend the reach of a 5G base station. With data speeds up to 3 Gbps, Horizon allows mobile users to experience the lightning-fast, low-latency data speeds that Ultra-Wideband 5G provides.

The outer case has been thoroughly tested by Telcordia for resilience against temperature extremes, humidity, and dust, for dependable 24/7 functionality in challenging outdoor conditions.

THE RESULTS

Horizon was instrumental in providing exceptionally strong and consistent 5G signal in areas that were once weak and inconsistent.
