Leading the industry through our Design Center of Excellence

Design is at the heart of every CTS wireless network—ensuring smarter, more efficient solutions from the start. Our Phoenix Design Center alone holds 36 iBwave licenses, ranking third in the nation behind only AT&T and Verizon, giving us unmatched capacity to take on complex projects without compromising quality. Backed by industry-leading tools and certifications, our expert design team tailors each solution for performance, reliability, and long-term scalability.

Trusted on the Biggest Stage: Proven Performance at 6 of the Last 7 Super Bowls

CTS is trusted by major carriers to design high-performance wireless networks for Super Bowl venues, thanks to our expertise in engineering for high-density environments. Selected for 6 of the last 7 Super Bowl stadiums, we optimize every detail—from antenna placement to network architecture—to ensure seamless, reliable connectivity for tens of thousands of users during one of the world’s most demanding live events.

Precision RF Modeling for Real-World Connectivity

Our designers are more than engineers—they’re artists who craft RF models with exceptional precision and care. Instead of relying on basic "empty box" models, they meticulously account for real-world obstructions within the building environment, modeling walls, ductwork, and furniture. This attention to detail results in highly accurate RF representations that closely match actual conditions, ensuring your wireless network performs in the real world just as it was designed.

Certified Experts, Proven Results: Designing Reliable Networks You Can Trust

At CTS, our design team is stacked with industry-leading certifications and the best tools in the business—so our customers can count on a smarter, more efficient network design from day one.
