Alltel is pushing it.

Alltel Wireless' 'in-stadium' cell tower to provide wireless service for customers attending pro football's championship game


When a capacity crowd of more than 73,000 fans pack University of Phoenix Stadium for pro football's 'Big Game' on Feb. 3, Alltel Wireless has ensured the stadium has the wireless network infrastructure in place to keep them connected from kickoff until the final whistle. Whether rooting for New York or New England, the exclusive on-premise tower will provide fans with wireless coverage throughout the facility -including high-speed data services on Alltel's Axcess Broadband EvDO network.


Alltel's Axcess Broadband service provides wireless access to the Internet at speeds comparable to wired broadband connections such as cable modem or DSL. Fans at the game will be able to surf the Web for statistics, game updates, video clips and photos, as well as access e-mail and download large, graphic-rich files right from their seats at speeds of up to 2.4 Mbps.
