•Case Study: If You Build It Wireless, They Will Come (Bet On It)
By Intermec Technologies Corporation
The Mandalay Resort Group had an idea. A grand idea. Build a convention center with the same luxury and spaciousness of the company's renowned Four Diamond Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. Make it the largest convention facility directly on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip. Make it elegant and beautiful, functional and flexible. And make it wireless.
Anyone who has visited or exhibited at a trade show knows that getting Internet access in a wired facility can be a monumental hassle. The headaches of pulling cables, stepping over connections and wires, then paying for sometimes- spotty service are anything but convenient or efficient. So Mandalay Resort Group (MRG) chose to start with the best and equip the center with a wireless network.
Plans for the Mandalay Bay Convention Center were grand indeed: 1.5 million square feet, comprised of nearly one million square feet of exhibit space; four levels of multi-purpose meeting and function space; plus flexible breakout space to accommodate more than 75 simultaneous meetings. Service was to be of the highest level, so the wireless network had to be first-rate too – no room for signal drops or holes in the wireless coverage. Now MRG just had to figure out how to get it built.
