Extenet Upgrades its 5G Network at Fiserv Forum with MatSing Lens Antennas
July 16, 2024 | BUSINESS WIREEstimated reading time: 1 minute
MatSing, the pioneer and innovator of high-capacity lens antenna technology, announced that Extenet has increased network capacity at the Fiserv Forum, home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, in advance of the 2024 RNC. The 18,000-capacity arena spans over 730,000 sq. ft. and hosts about 200 events, including NBA and NCAA basketball games and music performances, throughout the year.
With 10 MatSing MS-4.2DB60 lens antennas operational for the past few years covering the seating and bowl, as part of the distributed network, high-capacity C-Band was added by Extenet recently in the entire venue. With two MS-6F45 line-of-sight aerial locations, the venue has become “C-Band enabled” in a rapid and effective manner.
“To prepare for events like the RNC that draw in thousands of attendees indoors, besides several thousands in the surrounding entertainment district, venues must have best-in-class infrastructure to support the capacity needed for advanced connectivity,” said Bo Larsson, MatSing CEO. “At Fiserv Forum, upload capacity remains imperative to provide people a platform to share their experiences during games and events via videos and social media. We’re proud to continue our partnership with Extenet to deliver increased network scalability and capabilities at the Forum.”
“We’re thrilled to expand our network with MatSing at the Fiserv Forum where we host multiple carriers on our neutral-host network,” said Mike Alt, SVP of Customer Solutions at Extenet. “Enabling multiple sectors with low, mid, and C-Band, we’ve built a high-performing mobile network which was important for the carriers and venues. As a future-proof antenna solution provider, MatSing continues to be a preferred vendor for us, and we continue to work with them in several of our venues.”
As tens of thousands of viewers tune in to and attend the highly anticipated RNC, they will experience uninterrupted streaming from the Fiserv Forum as the Republican Party officially selects the nominees for president and vice president of the 2024 United States presidential election.

The funding is to remove equipment from networks nationwide because of cyberattacks on internet routers and cellular networks enabled by a Chinese company that makes more than half of the routers sold in the U.S. We know from prior experience and similar transgressions that we cannot trust that Chinese components aren’t being used for nefarious purposes.
