CHARLOTTE — Hornets Sports & Entertainment and Boldyn Networks have extended their wireless cellular infrastructure partnership to expand 5G coverage across the team’s facilities.
The agreement connects Spectrum Center with the new Novant Health Performance Center, creating a 5G cellular corridor between the main arena and the training facility in Uptown Charlotte.
The Novant Health Performance Center is currently under construction directly across the street from Spectrum Center in Uptown Charlotte. The 160,000-square-foot venue will serve as the administrative headquarters and primary basketball training facility for the Charlotte Hornets.
Boldyn Networks previously completed the arena’s initial 5G Distributed Antenna System upgrade in 2020.
The network engineered by Boldyn Networks will provide wall-to-wall cellular coverage across more than 160,000 square feet inside the new facility. Covered areas include basketball courts, weight rooms, player training spaces, and executive administrative offices. The interconnected system allows the Hornets to integrate connected health technologies and advanced analytics between both locations.
The infrastructure project is tied to broader venue improvements in the district. Spectrum Center re-opened in October 2025 following a comprehensive two-phase renovation project focused on upgrading technology systems and enhancing spectator amenities throughout the arena.
