Wireless Upgrades at the PCC

THE ability to have access to a wireless network and connect to the internet at all times is expected in today’s society. Providing access to a reliable Wi-Fi network is essential for convention centers and a key component to a successful event. Attendees, vendors, event managers, and those who visit convention centers expect to have a reliable Wi-Fi connection. The center’s infrastructure is vital to the network, and access points play a significant role.

The Smart City Phoenix team completed a wireless upgrade in the Phoenix Convention Center’s North and West buildings this summer, eliminating the need to engineer and place temporary access points for large events. The team completed the six-month project in September 2019. The upgrade consists of 64 wireless access points, 30,000 feet of cable, and over 2,000 feet of conduit. The completion of the wireless upgrade will ensure a better connection and an overall better wireless experience. The Phoenix Convention Center sales team was very excited to hear the news of the completed project and have used this as a major selling point. This project was important for the Phoenix team and expressed the level of commitment they have to provide the best technology experience possible to those visiting the Valley of Sun.
