PCT International Completes Overhaul of Video Delivery System to Chase Field
TEMPE, Ariz., March 2 -- PCT International, a leading worldwide manufacturer of last mile and access network solutions for broadband communications networks, announced today that it has completed an upgrade of the video delivery system for the Arizona Diamondbacks' Chase Field home in time for the 2010 baseball season.
Working in collaboration with the access provider to the field, PCT International installed key fiber optic elements to enable the delivery of high-quality video signals to Chase Field's 136-foot by 46-foot Daktronics high-definition LED video board, as well as approximately 1,000 monitors throughout the stadium. The installation includes a PCTFTX3R14AS Fiber Optic Transmitter at a switching location and a PCTUMFNAS Ultra Mini Indoor Fiber Node at Chase Field, connected by a 13-mile fiber link.
"Because we were able to work closely with the access provider and the Chase Field technical staff, we were able to come up with a solution that combined service quality and cost effectiveness," said Doug MacLeod, vice president, applications engineering and technical sales support for PCT International. "We're pleased to have been able to play a key role in enriching the stadium experience for fans of the Diamondbacks and other events at Chase Field."
PCT International's optical fiber solutions have been architected to meet or exceed industry standards for optical transport of RF signals up to 1 GHz. The products feature excellent performance over an extended range of optical signal levels, high degrees of operational flexibility and compact form factors that reduce space considerations and simplify installation in smaller deployments.
