Large groups of people- whether they be sports fans or convention goers- present challenges and opportunities for event venues.

Fans and attendees want and need, to stay connected. Whether it’s to check on fantasy leagues, stock prices, Facebook, or to upload film of the kickoff; cellular connectivity has become an expected cornerstone of the fan experience. Having that connectivity can present revenue opportunities for seat upgrades, concession orders, and directions to souvenir shops.  GIANT Solutions has been trusted to implement Distributed Antenna System applications in the most challenging of public venue and sporting environments
