A new and greatly improved WiFi system is coming to Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
At its Wednesday meeting, the Luzerne County Convention Center Authority approved a contract with New Jersey-based Turn-key Technologies Inc. to install the system, at a cost not to exceed $750,000.
The authority, which oversees the operations of the arena, has been working toward upgrading the arena’s WiFi system for two years. WiFi was among a list of planned improvements included in a 10-year lease extension the Penguins and the authority board agreed to in May.
No target date for the implementation of the system was announced Wednesday. According to estimates, the project will take three to four weeks of preparation followed by eight to 10 weeks once the installation work begins.
