Fans were using their mobile devices to share their favorite plays from the hardwood with family and friends throughout the opening round of basketball games at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. During the first round an average of 132GB of data traffic per game crossed our mobile network. 132GB of data is the equivalent to more than 375K social media posts with photos. The peak hour of traffic during the opening series occurred during the second game of the series on April 23, when 38GB of data traffic per game crossed our mobile network. 38GB of data is the equivalent to more than 108K social media posts with photos.
Beyond the massive amount of data used, Global Wireless Solutions (GWS) Inc., a leading independent benchmarking solutions vendor for the wireless industry, tested mobile coverage during the basketball game on April 30 at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
