GlobeNewswire
2012-07-30


NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 30, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Attendees at
the upcoming 2012 Democratic National Convention and Charlotte Bobcats
fans will be able to keep their mobile devices connected thanks to a
state-of-the-art 4G wireless Distributed Antenna System ("DAS") network
recently installed by Mobilitie, LLC. The new Mobilitie DAS installed
at the Time Warner Cable Arena includes the installation of 524
antennas located throughout the facility that will improve wireless
coverage, capacity and data speeds during peak event times. In addition
to ensuring voice calls are successfully connected, the DAS will allow
smart phones, tablets, and other devices to access the internet, run
interactive applications, and quickly upload photos and videos to
social networking sites among many other benefits.

"Mobilitie is excited to provide Charlotte Bobcats fans and attendees
at the 2012 DNC with this state-of-the-art system," commented Christos
Karmis, President of Mobilitie. "DAS installations at marquee venues
such as the Time Warner Cable Arena highlight Mobilitie's national
strategy to provide wireless solutions at key public venues." Mobilitie
is currently deploying DAS networks at numerous high-capacity venues
across the country for several professional sports teams as well as
other industry verticals. "Mobilitie's DAS networks are designed as
neutral hosts capable of addressing the network challenges faced by
every carrier in delivering the type of wireless experience desired by
their customers. Our DAS networks provide carriers with a solution to
meet the requirements and capabilities of the newest and most powerful
mobile devices, which are continually evolving."

The Mobilitie DAS network will be operational for the 2012 Democratic
National Convention and the next Charlotte Bobcats season. According to
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Charlotte Bobcats, Fred
Whitfield, "We are committed to providing superior wireless coverage to
our customers that support the Bobcats and attend events at Time Warner
Cable Arena. Our partnership with Mobilitie to deploy the DAS will
provide an exceptional wireless experience for the nearly 2 million
consumers we welcome annually."

Mobilitie's role as a neutral host DAS operator requires extensive
planning and coordination with the major wireless carriers. According
to Mike McNelly, SVP of National Site Development for Mobilitie, "We
have been working hard on the design and installation of the DAS to
ensure a successful deployment under a relatively short timeframe. This
includes working closely with the carriers to incorporate their
technical requirements and frequencies into the DAS design."

According to Frank Cairon, Executive Director - Network for Verizon
Wireless, "We are pleased to work alongside Mobilitie and the Time
Warner Arena to deploy this type of DAS network. Running the Verizon
Wireless network on Mobilitie's infrastructure will help ensure our
customers have the best wireless experience when attending the DNC and
the many events hosted at the Time Warner arena." According to Bob
Azzi, SVP Network for Sprint, "We value our partnership with Mobilitie
to deploy these types of complex DAS networks. We are pleased to
provide enhanced wireless service to our customers who attend Charlotte
Bobcats games and other key events that take place annually at Time
Warner Cable Arena." Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T-Mobile will be
operational in time for the 2012 DNC event, and will continue to
provide improve service to their customers who attend Charlotte Bobcats
games and all other events held at the Time Warner Cable Arena.
