Cox doubles Internet speed at Las Vegas Convention Center

Doubling the speed of three tiers of its wired Internet packages available to exhibitors, show management and other users at the Las Vegas Convention Center is Cox Business/Hospitality Network, a provider of telecommunications to the commercial services and gaming-resort verticals.

While the Internet speed is doubling, there will be no additional costs for the faster service, creating an immediate value to end-users of the wired high-speed Internet product. The speed doubling takes effect immediately.

“As the provider of Advanced Convention Services, Cox Business is extremely pleased to implement a no-cost speed increase at the Las Vegas Convention Center,” said Derrick Hill, vice president, Cox Business/Hospitality Network in Las Vegas. “This implementation enhances value for convention exhibitors and elevates the attractiveness of the Las Vegas Convention Center as a top-tier convention destination for tradeshows with their ever-increasing demand for robust Internet technology.”

The speed increases will involve three tiers of wired Internet in both the “shared bandwidth” and “dedicated bandwidth” service tiers. Five of the service tiers are being increased by 100 percent while the tier offering 10 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth will be augmented by 125 percent to 25 Mbps.

“We are excited to offer our tradeshow partners and their exhibitors and delegates high-speed wired Internet service that allows them the ability to conduct critical business on the show floor twice as fast as before,” said Terry Jicinsky, senior vice president of operations, Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). “As the No. 1 tradeshow destination in North America, we’re committed to staying ahead of our competition by providing the latest technology and exceptional customer service that helps our clients improve their business and tradeshow experience.”

Advanced Convention Services from Cox Business/Hospitality Network at the Las Vegas Convention Center provides among the fastest, if not the fastest wired Internet speeds in the convention industry with a sliding speed scale ranging from 3 Megabits per second (Mbps) to dedicated on-site fiber optic connectivity providing speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps).

In addition to wired Internet, Cox Business / Hospitality Network also provides Wi-Fi based wireless Internet services, wired voice services, private network options and TV services. The company is also facilitating the installation of a state-of-the-art interior 3G/4G cellular Distributed Antenna System (DAS) designed to improve wireless capabilities inside the Las Vegas Convention Center.
