4 Bears Casino and Hotel Expansion

4 Bears Casino and Hotel has evolved from a small 40 room lodge in the 1970s into a major hospitality and gaming destination in North Dakota. To support continued growth and expanded guest experiences, the property completed a major hotel addition and renovation featuring 264 rooms, gaming areas, fine dining, a sports bar, ballroom, spa, and fitness center.

Hunt Electric and ECSI collaborated to deliver electrical construction, low voltage systems, and a Public Safety Distributed Antenna System designed to support reliable communication coverage and code compliance throughout the facility.

Modern hospitality and gaming facilities require more than traditional electrical infrastructure. They depend on coordinated communications, life safety systems, and reliable coverage across large, high occupancy spaces.

For the 4 Bears expansion, Hunt Electric and ECSI integrated electrical and low voltage systems with a Public Safety DAS solution to ensure consistent communication performance throughout the renovated and expanded facility.

Hunt Electric and ECSI delivered a coordinated electrical and low voltage package that included:

• Electrical construction services
• Low voltage system installation
• Public Safety Distributed Antenna System installation
• System design based on grid testing and iBwave modeling
• Donor antennas, RF remote antennas, and cabling infrastructure supporting facility wide coverage
