Global Wireless Solutions Event-o-Meter Pit National vs. American League Stadiums Against Each Other in a Mobile Network Performance Challenge on Opening Day 2019<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

DULLES, Va. \u2014 March 28, 2019 \u2014 <\/b>All 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams played today for Opening Day 2019, and <\/span>Global Wireless Solutions<\/span><\/a> (GWS) network testing specialists were on the ground at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., where the Mets played the Nationals, and at Yankee Stadium in New York City, where the Orioles played the Yankees, to see how well the mobile networks responded to the hundreds of thousands of social uploads and calls made during the games.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span> National League set a high bar for Opening Day in terms of network connectivity: the OneScore at Nationals Park was 87, earning the National League a \u201cB+\u201d in the classroom of mobile network performance, and Yankee Stadium scored 70, earning the American League a \u201cC-.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The National League OneScore at Nationals Park also broke the record with the highest GWS Event-o-Meter score of all events tested by GWS thus far. By comparison, the OneScore for the Boston Marathon 2018 was 86; New Year\u2019s Eve 2018 in Times Square was 77; Donald Trump\u2019s 2017 presidential inauguration scored 75; and New Orleans Mardi Gras 2019 scored 66.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe networks really hit it out of the park, especially at Nationals Park,\u201d said Dr. Paul Carter, CEO and founder of Global Wireless Solutions. \u201cProviders took extra steps to deliver to baseball fans the wireless connectivity they needed to document the day. It\u2019s clear that very few experienced delays connecting with friends or uploading social posts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This report marks the third GWS Event-o-Meter for 2019, a measure of network performance at popular events nationwide and a barometer for how American consumers experience wireless connectivity when networks are trying to accommodate heavy traffic. The <\/span>GWS Event-o-Meter is based on the company\u2019s OneScore evaluation process, a measurement of overall performance that takes into account voice, data, video, coverage, and reliability metrics based on customer experience.<\/span><\/p>\n
