Specifications include, but are not limited to: Wireless LAN Requirements: A. Baseline WLAN Coverage and Capacity WLAN device support: The WLAN must support a variety of WLANenabled devices; including but not limited to Smartphones, tablet PCs, laptops, ticketing and PoS scanners. High-density coverage and capacity: The WLAN must provide sufficient bandwidth to support the variety of applications used by the thousands of WLAN devices throughout the property. Higher-capacity areas (press and media area, clubs): The press and media areas typically require higher-bandwidth connections to the Internet and have a high number of devices in a small area. In addition, overflow press areas must be accommodated for special events. Scalability: The network must be scalable to provide high quality WiFi service in a highly dense environment supporting thousands of users. High Availability: The WLAN must be designed to support automatic network recovery from the loss of an Internet link or network equipment or link failure with minimal downtime. Enhanced security services: The WLAN should have in-depth security capabilities that help ensure the integrity of the network, identify threats and devices that cause RF interference that degrade Wi-Fi performance. Access point mounting restrictions: Because general seating areas have limited overhead structure, access point placement is limited and aesthetic restrictions must be adhered to. B. End User or WLAN Device Access Requirements Comprehensive WLAN Coverage and seamless roaming: Users should experience a consistently high level of WLAN performance anywhere within their designated area within the arena and to be able to move about without losing WLAN connection. Note: Seamless roaming does not require active hand-off between APs, unless for VoIP.
