Just recently, 5G made its first major impact at the Winter Olympics, and now its transformative power is set to revolutionize sporting and other major events around the world.
A private in-stadium 5G network will provide fans with a personalized experience that makes them feel like they’re at the game, whether they’re inside or outside the venue, and they’ll stay connected without lag throughout the experience.
Real-time Data Analysis
Because 5G offers low latency, more data can be streamed directly to fans’ devices in real time, creating more immersive technology and more engaging sporting event experiences for all spectators.
The motion tracking sensors can capture players’ movements and send live video replays directly to fans’ devices, allowing fans to more accurately analyze game action while watching live replays and gain additional insight into player performance and strategy. Now, select fans and athletes have the opportunity to get the latest equipment through the Melbet app, which is giving footballers access to the highest quality technology.
Stadiums are increasingly deploying private 5G networks to provide voice communications on uncontested networks dedicated to the event, making communications much easier across large crowds and noisy environments. Simon Wilson, CTO of HPE Aruba, UK and Ireland, recently gave an example of how this was used effectively at the Ryder Cup, where high-speed, low-latency communications were easily achieved with private 5G, even in areas where cabling was not permitted.
Enhanced fan engagement
5G connectivity in the stadium will provide fans with an uninterrupted and immersive game-watching experience and will also enable deeper fan engagement through social media experiences, making them more immersed in the game.
Interactive screens at the stadium allow fans to interact with digital avatars of their favorite players and capture memories through photos that can then be uploaded to social media platforms and shared widely, thus creating an informed sports community.
As 5G networks become more widespread, they will also help improve scouting and training for sports teams by providing real-time data analytics. Coaches and players can use this information to fine-tune their performance, improve team coordination, and ultimately boost performance. Additionally, 5G technology can create immersive augmented reality (AR) experiences in sports venues, allowing fans to use the venues as arenas where they can play games like soccer and virtual reality (VR).
Enhanced in-seat delivery
Media companies invest billions of dollars into sports production every year, and 5G can make this process much more efficient. 5G’s higher bandwidth capabilities and lower latency levels allow media companies to capture, transmit, analyze and transmit much more data than ever before in the same amount of time, opening up exciting possibilities for remote production.
5G technology will also create new fan experiences in stadiums: ShotTracker’s real-time analytics will enable broadcasters to provide value-added charts such as player shot maps and up-to-the-minute statistics to viewers in real time, creating unique fan interactions.
5G will also help make stadiums more efficient with faster speeds that allow fans to purchase concessions and merchandise without leaving their seats. Additionally, faster speeds could enable attendees to use augmented reality for wayfinding, knowing wait times for restrooms, concession lines or exit gates before they leave their seats. Ultimately, smart stadiums could unlock new revenue opportunities by offering food, drink and merchandise delivery services right to your seat.
Enhanced Parking Experience
5G opens up endless opportunities for the stadium experience, including more immersive fan engagement, real-time analytics, improved operational efficiency and innovative ways for fans to participate in sports. Smart stadium technology has the potential to transform the way fans attend sports.
A private 5G network in the stadium will enable lightning-fast, highly customized experiences, like augmented reality that displays player stats in front of you and virtual reality that makes you feel like you’re actually on the field, while a public 5G network will help seamlessly connect all participants throughout the stadium.
Solutions like 5G Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) can make parking lots smarter. These systems transmit vehicle locations to the network with extremely low latency, allowing mobile apps to automatically direct vehicles to open spaces based on staff schedules and traffic patterns. This saves staff time and effort and helps reduce congestion. Additionally, this same technology can direct crowds to the nearest or least congested exit if an evacuation is necessary.
