If you think multiple people using your home Wi-Fi slows down your connection, imagine an entire stadium full of people sharing the same connection. Large venues such as arenas, stadiums, convention centers and city centers are some of the most challenging environments for deploying a wireless network.
In these types of venues, large crowds of people are simultaneously trying to access Wi-Fi service from their devices. The high concentration of wireless users in these types of settings causes performance and capacity issues that make it difficult to provide reliable wireless coverage. This issue has led to the development of high density antennas.
High density antennas have a more focused beamwidth in both horizontal and vertical polarization than standard antennas. This minimizes channel-to-channel interference which helps improve coverage and provides greater capacity. The narrow beamwidth also allows the signal to be positioned exactly where it is needed, which reduces RF interference. All of which is ideal for areas with dense populations of wireless users accessing Wi-Fi at the same time.
