In anticipation of the pope's 2015 public mass in Philadelphia's tree-lined Benjamin Franklin Parkway, this historic area needed a wireless infrastructure upgrade. We collaborated with the City of Philadelphia and national wireless carriers to design, approve and install a new small cell network—all in less than nine months.
How we worked together.
-
With long-standing relationships in Philadelphia, we were able to facilitate collaboration and cooperation from multiple parties.
-
Coordinated with the planner of the event and obtained approvals from six separate city agencies and three network carriers.
-
Installed a state-of-the-art network with nodes on existing streetlights and inconspicuous poles to preserve the aesthetics of the Parkway.
What we achieved.
- One carrier’s data usage reached nearly 13 terabytes—7.5x what they reported from the venue of the NFL’s biggest game that year.
