Apple Looks to Enhance In Building Wireless Coverage at its New Chicago Lincoln Park Store

Lincoln Park has long been one of Chicago’s premiere downtown lakefront communities. It is also home to a large number of national retailers. It prides itself on its reputation as a premiere retail, dinning, social and cultural destination. Apple has now joined the list of premiere retailers in the community by opening a new retailer store in October of 2010.

The Chicago downtown area has been a major market for their partner Carrier for some time now.  Apple had no problem with signal strength on the upper floor of the new site. However, the lower level of the facility was another story. Anyone wishing access to voice, data and web access from their iPhone or handheld device was required to be on the upper level. 

So, Apple turned to Wireless Concepts International to design a system to improve in building coverage in its lower level administrative area. Wireless Concepts designed and deployed a reasonably priced, custom Distributed Antenna System to boost signal quality. Problem solved!

With a significant boost in signal strength, the staff is no longer limited to the upper level only. Customers, employees and leadership team could now enjoy uninterrupted coverage in the lower levels as well. Apple again lives up to its commitment to improving the wireless experience with a little help from Wireless Concepts.
