“This was at the core of our decision to partner with ExteNet. They delight in the user experience – so our properties can reliably bring better service and enrichment to our guests.”
ExteNet Systems will distribute its wireless network to MGM Resorts’ 25 properties. The company anticipates that the system will be completed and in use between the end of this year and the fall of 2024.
DigitalBridge CEO Marc Ganzi expressed confidence in ExteNet’s technology. The company is one of ExteNet’s investors.
Ganzi said: “Across our DigitalBridge companies, working with customers is at the heart of what we do, and we are proud to work with a partner who delivers such unique and memorable experiences.
