Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband live in arenas just in time for basketball and hockey
October 18 2019 - 3:00PM
Whether it’s a concert, sporting event or some other huge moment ─
Verizon’s 5G is now available in Talking Stick Resort Arena, Chase
Center, Pepsi Center, and coming soon to Madison Square
Garden. Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband mobility service will be
live in 10 arenas by the end of the 2019-2020 season.
These arenas together host millions of basketball fans, hockey
fans, and concert goers each year. For those connected to it on a
5G device, Verizon’s Ultra Wideband 5G mobility service can provide
the bandwidth for fans to access the content they want during
events. Additionally, the venues, teams, vendors and other
businesses that call these arenas home may be able to use 5G
mobility services to provide a differentiated experience for
spectators and participants alike. Verizon’s 5G Ultra
Wideband is being built right with consumers and businesses in
mind.
“Verizon is leading in 5G development and is
transforming how entire industries operate ranging from
entertainment to manufacturing,” said Heidi Hemmer, Vice President
of Technology at Verizon. “Having this next generation technology
in large venues like arenas should not only enhance the game-day
experience for sports fans, but provide greater bandwidth for
concert-goers, visitors or businesses working inside the
venue.”
The indoor arena deployment of 5G is part of
Verizon’s strategy to bring the latest in network technology to
major venues. Verizon’s 5G can provide immersive mobile experiences
using artificial reality and virtual reality, at events where fans
are gathered. Access to a superfast network brings the
potential for greater bandwidth, better customer service, and
improved operating models and revenue streams.
The news follows Verizon’s announcement last
month that Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband service is live in 13 NFL
stadiums.
