What's the news? We're taking the fan experience to
the next level with the introduction of AT&T 5G+ at Lumen
Field. 5G+ is AT&T's name for 5G delivered using millimeter
wave spectrum, which is ideal for high-traffic areas. That means
the players on the field won't be the only ones putting up
unprecedented performances.
Why is this important? AT&T customers with a
compatible device and qualifying plan will now have access to the
super-fast speeds and increased connectivity ideal for popular
venues like Lumen Field.1
Who can use this? AT&T 5G+ will enable incredible
innovation and unlock immersive experiences, especially when more
fans are permitted inside the stadium to celebrate memorable plays
and big Seattle wins.
In addition to fans, first responders on FirstNet – including
agencies like Seattle Fire
Department will also have access to 5G+ at Lumen Field. They will
maintain voice communication through always-on priority and
preemption on LTE and the intuitive FirstNet network will determine
the best route for data traffic, whether that's 5G+ or LTE
spectrum.
