IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MatSing, the pioneer and innovator of high-capacity lens antennas, today announced that its latest deployment delivering improved connectivity at the PNC Arena is ready for the puck to drop at the Carolina Hurricanes’ home opener. As Canes fans head to the arena to watch the faceoff against the Ottawa Senators, they will enjoy advanced mobile connectivity to complement their venue experience.
In advance of the regular NHL season, 12 of MatSing’s spherical lens antennas (eight MS-4.2DB60-T antennas and four MS-SB34-T antennas) have been installed at the PNC Arena, providing low-band and mid-band connectivity in the entire venue. The network, covering the stands and floor, will ensure the capacity audience of 18,680 receives high-quality 5G signals from their carriers during games. Music fans, enjoying the performance on the floor, will get the same advanced 5G service from their carriers that others receive in the stands.
“Social media activity, fantasy updates, and live-video feed have become essential components of any gameday experience,” explained Bo Larsson, CEO of MatSing. “And as new technologies and apps tailored for venues and fans are introduced, the need for high-capacity and fast-speed connectivity increases exponentially year-over-year. MatSing’s lens antenna technology is known to exceed connectivity expectations by providing industry-leading network performance, as evidenced by our presence in 50% of NFL stadiums and 35% of NBA and NHL arenas combined. We are thankful to all the parties involved in the network design and build at the PNC Arena. Kudos to our partner Beam Wireless who selected our antennas for the venue and successfully integrated our technology into the arena’s mobile network.”

About MatSing
Founded in 2005, MatSing has developed and patented new metamaterials to create the world’s first lightweight and multi-beam Lens Antennas. This new approach for high-performance, high-capacity antenna design is more efficient and offers key advantages over traditional antennas, the ability to provide broadband coverage, emit and maintain multiple beams, and to do so cleanly with minimal RF interference. Nationwide coverage isn’t the only critical challenge facing telecoms companies, and MatSing’s Lens antenna solution is ideal to meet the capacity demands at outdoor events, stadiums and macro uses in cities, suburbs, and rural areas. Each antenna can provide multiple independent sectors, up to 48, providing the highest capacity across multiple bands with the fewest antennas possible. MatSing lens technology is the perfect fit for 4G LTE and 5G mobile broadband coverage, and it is the most cost-effective network densification tool in the industry.
