speaking of slightly OT but perhaps still operational content
I noticed where the democrats plan to ask a stadium full of people to all use their cellphones at the same time (on Thursday, I believe) Any thoughts on how useable cell service will or wont be in the vicinity of this event? :) -Dorn

I don't know, but I have heard complaints about the wireless service in the Convention Center. Regards Marshall

Unless they have installed a DAS system for cell signal transport or a number of micro or nano cells in the building they will have congestion. But what is a political convention without a little congestion.

Probably very less amount of users will be able to call and the rest in that cell site coverage will get congestion. -amir -----Original Message----- From: John Lee [mailto:john@internetassociatesllc.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 12:51 AM To: Dorn Hetzel; NANOG list Subject: RE: speaking of slightly OT but perhaps still operational content Unless they have installed a DAS system for cell signal transport or a number of micro or nano cells in the building they will have congestion.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I thought its fairly typical for large events such as these (with lots of communications assets being deployed, not unlike a Superbowl, etc) for Cell companies to roll in COWs (Cell-on-wheels) type deployments to support additional capacity. Am I living in a fantasy land? Deepak John Lee wrote:

Even with a COW, I'm not sure all the providers together have anywhere near enough spectrum to service 75,000 geographically coincident calls :) On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 3:33 PM, Deepak Jain <deepak@ai.net> wrote:
