The Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago

The Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago has deployed ADC’s InterReach Fusion in-building cellular systems to provide “clear and consistent cellular coverage for staff, visitors, and guests.”

Currently, Sprint and Verizon provide service through the Fusion system at the hotel, while discussions with AT&T and T-Mobile are underway.

The InterReach Fusion in-building distributed antenna system (DAS) feeds 174 remote antenna units (RAUs). Thanks to the system’s “active architecture,” deployment teams were able to leverage existing fiber cabling in utility risers to extend signals from Main Hubs to Expansion hubs located on various floors, while the RAUs are linked to Expansion Hubs via standard CATV cable. The system delivers wireless service to all guest rooms as well as the reception area, spa, meeting rooms, restaurant, and the bar…

Completed last year, the Trump International Hotel and Tower prides itself with 28 floors of guest rooms plus an additional 61 floors of condominium residences.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
