Sprint and MobileAccess Deliver Seamless, Reliable Mobile Connectivity Across the Casino

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 11, 2009-- The Aliante Station Casino + Hotel is teaming up with Sprint (NYSE:S) and MobileAccess to provide a comprehensive in-building wireless infrastructure and communications solution for its guests and team members. With 202 hotel rooms and suites, 14,000 square feet of meeting space, six restaurants and multiple entertainment venues, the new Aliante Station will ensure always-on reliable wireless coverage for a variety of applications throughout its entire facility.

“This solution gives Aliante Station a competitive edge in a town full of high-tech resorts,” said Van Baltz, Chief Technology Officer for Station Casinos, the company that owns and operates Aliante Station. “The new infrastructure provides an added benefit to our guests by ensuring nearly continuous wireless coverage no matter what device they’re using and enables our team members to stay connected wherever they are in the facility. The multi-service distributed antenna system (DAS) also puts Aliante Station at the forefront of public safety in Clark County by providing support for critical public safety cellular and radio operations.”

The multi-service in-building wireless system is the first in North Las Vegas to include capabilities for all major cellular carriers, in-house two-way radio, Wi-Fi, VoIP and public safety radio all on a single DAS infrastructure. This new technology also makes Aliante Station the first casino to meet the updated public safety communications codes for Clark County and the City of North Las Vegas.

This breakthrough design built by Sprint’s Converged Network Solutions (CNS) and MobileAccess ensures high-speed network services with wall-to-wall 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi, providing guests and staff with uninterrupted, seamless connectivity for mobile devices. The system also supports the latest in high speed 4G technologies, such as WiMAX, and has the scalability to support new or additional wireless services in the future without the need for any additional infrastructure. Furthermore, the system delivers building-wide, two-way radio coverage for fire, police and other first responders, ensuring that Aliante Station meets strict fire protection ordinances for the City of North Las Vegas.

“Thousands of people who visit or work at the casino and hotel use a wide range of wireless services. This makes the ability to support a multitude of communications applications on a reliable network very critical,” says Mike Fitz, vice president, converged solutions at Sprint. “We have provided a complete solution powered by our dependable Now network, that not only meets Aliante Station’s communications needs today, but also prepares for future technologies such as Sprint 4G, which lets employees and guests extend their Internet experience beyond the walls of their office or home.”
