When Mall of America decided it was time to offer free Wi-Fi for its 40 million annual guests, it turned to Garland, Texas-based AmpThink to design, build and manage the high density wireless network running on Cisco hardware throughout the 5.6 million square foot mall.
Since the Wi-Fi network went live in advance of the 2015 holiday season it has supported 319,995 unique users and 793,750 total wireless sessions and handled more than than 486 terabytes of data traffic, according to AmpThink. To put those figures in perspective, that volume of traffic exceeds the total amount of the last five Super Bowls combined.
