AT&T is bringing its 5G Evolution to Minneapolis in time for Super Bowl LII. The launch will provide customers in the area with greater connectivity on their devices along with upgraded network capabilities.
Along with greater network capabilities surrounding Minneapolis, U.S. Bank Stadium will receive its own upgrades via a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). LTE capacity within the venue has been boosted by roughly 150 percent since last year. According to AT&T, the stadium’s network alone could provide coverage for the entire city of Minneapolis.
“We’re excited about launching this new wireless network in Minneapolis in the coming months as we move towards standards-based mobile 5G,” Marachel Knight, AT&T’s Senior VP of Wireless Network Architecture & Design, said in a statement.
