Events: 5G to revolutionize the experience of spectators, professionals, and media

Venues bring together a large number of people in one place per se. In addition to security, connectivity is also a priority. A large number of people means a rapidly saturated mobile network. As for temporary venues, which are on the rise, they require the implementation of momentary connectivity. However, whether temporary or permanent, connectivity must combine robustness and reliability, high speed, and low latency to meet the needs of the control rooms, the speakers, and the people attending the events. Until the arrival of 5G, this equation imposed a lengthy and costly technical implementation for organizers. Thanks to the 5G mobile network, organizers can now push back the boundaries of live events and increase the experience of their spectators quickly and at a lower cost.

Thanks to its high speed, autonomous connection, and low latency, 5G will help fans live an enriched, immersive, and personalized sports experience through innovations, connected objects, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR). The data to which 5G gives access through smartphones, connected glasses, or VR and AR headsets deeply transforms the spectators’ sports experience. Everyone is free to watch a match from the angle of their choice, zoom in on a player, relive an action in slow motion, and access player statistics in real-time. All of this increases emotions tenfold and gives sports fans the feeling of being an actor in the game!

The media are not left out! They will no longer face the numerous technical constraints of broadcasting during matches, concerts, events, shows, live, or broadcasts. They will be able to improve access to live and high-quality information by the general public. How so? Thanks to the speed of 5G SA, which will be up to 10 times faster than 4G and will make it possible to receive or send vast volumes of data (photos or HD videos) in near real-time from anywhere. The same applies to event organizers who, thanks to the autonomy, high speed, and reliability of 5G, can communicate seamlessly with their team even when they are far from the supervision console and scattered around the event site. High-performance connectivity also paves the way for connected objects that enrich, secure, and improve the visitor experience: access control, doors, RFID wristbands, PoS, payment and cashless terminals, capacity measurement, localization, remote surveillance, etc.

5G for Even More Connected Events

Interactive and Seamless Experiences
5G is revolutionizing the event industry by offering ultra-fast and reliable connectivity. We play a crucial role in ensuring coverage and deployment of 5G at events, providing participants with an optimal experience. Let’s explore how this technological advancement transforms our experience.

We work closely with event organizers to ensure seamless connectivity through 5G. The frequency bands used for event 5G allow for high-speed data transmission, offering a smooth experience for participants. Orange also ensures proper installation of 5G technology, using devices such as fiber optics and 5G modems to provide a robust and stable signal. With this solid infrastructure, participants can fully enjoy the digital features offered by the event.

One of the main advantages of event 5G is its ability to simultaneously manage a vast number of connected users and devices. At large-scale events, where thousands of people gather, 5G can provide high bandwidth and reduced latency, enabling uninterrupted connectivity. This means participants can enjoy an immersive experience, quickly download and share content, interact in real-time with others, and fully utilize all the digital features offered by the event. Orange works behind the scenes to ensure a smooth online experience without slowdowns.

Event projects also benefit from 5G in terms of security and crowd management. Organizers can use 5G to monitor buildings, sensitive areas, and ensure participant safety. With 5G, security systems can operate more efficiently and provide rapid responses in emergencies. Participants can feel confident knowing that their safety is prioritized through cutting-edge technology, allowing for quicker identification and rescue if needed.

Moreover, event 5G opens new opportunities for participant engagement. With enhanced connectivity, organizers can offer interactive features such as virtual and augmented reality, real-time mobile applications, and immersive experiences. This creates a more personalized and engaging experience for participants, making events even more memorable. Participants can interact with event content, share their experiences in real-time, and engage in interactive activities, fostering group dynamics and a unique atmosphere.

To ensure the success of event 5G, collaboration between Orange, event organizers, and service providers is essential. Together, they can guarantee reliable coverage and optimal connectivity, ensuring participants enjoy all the benefits of 5G. We collaborate with event organizers to understand their specific needs and provide tailored solutions, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants.

In conclusion, in the event sector, 5G is transforming the event industry by offering ultra-fast and reliable connectivity. We play a key role in ensuring the deployment and coverage of 5G at events. Thanks to event 5G, participants can benefit from optimal connectivity, immersive and interactive experiences, as well as advanced features for safety and crowd management. Event 5G opens exciting new perspectives for the future of events and promises even more enriching experiences for participants. With event 5G, we are on the brink of experiencing a new era of connected and memorable events.
