MatSing Lens Antennas Added to Seven College Football Bowl Game Venues for 4G LTE, 5G Service

MatSing is integrating its multi-beam lens antennas into seven venues during the college football bowl season, including the National Championship Game at SoFi Stadium on January 8th.

The company’s proprietary high-capacity radio frequency antennas, which are generally installed in the aerial infrastructure of stadiums, will provide crystal 4G LTE and 5G coverage for nine total games in those seven venues. Fans in parking lots or in nearby tailgate parties consequently will have pervasive bandwidth and connectivity to upload photos and videos and to share on social media.

Founded in 2005, MatSing’s lightweight antennas deploy an artificial dielectric polymer that mimics the human eye’s capacity to refract light and applies it to network transmissions. The company customarily installs 60 lens antennas per venue to cover the upper levels of the stadium, with each antenna disseminating up to 48 independent sectors to support C-Band and other frequencies.

The upgraded bowl games include half of the New Year’s Day contests and are as follows:

  • Las Vegas Bowl, Allegiant Stadium.
  • LA Bowl, SoFi Stadium
  • Frisco Bowl, Toyota Stadium
  • Gasparilla Bowl, Raymond James Stadium
  • Orange Bowl, Hard Rock Stadium
  • Fiesta Bowl, State Farm Stadium
  • ReliaQuest Bowl, Raymond James Stadium
  • Cotton Bowl, AT&T Stadium
  • College Football National Championship, SoFi Stadium

Overall, MatSing’s technology is deployed in 100 venues, including the last five Super Bowls, the 2021 Stanley Cup Finals at Tampa’s Amalie Arena, the annual Miami Grand Prix and a most recent integration this season at Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The tech was also utilized during President Joe Biden’s inauguration.
