Smart stadiums are a boon for 5G networks 

INTRO: Smart stadiums are the order of the day, as was witnessed during the recently-concluded FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Spectators watching a game now expect the same level of connectivity as in their homes so as to carry on with their social media activities. For stadium management also, a smart set-up offers immense benefits. All this implies a plethora of opportunities for 5G networks and AI service providers.     


Smart stadiums are a relatively new concept, but they are becoming more popular and accessible as wireless connectivity capabilities improve and new private 5G solutions become available


Sports venues around the world are seeing a significant increase in data usage over the years. This presents a significant opportunity for service providers to offer enhanced networks in stadiums and arenas to ensure seamless connectivity for their subscribers.

Smart stadiums use 5G and IoT technology to improve spectators’ experience, improve physical security, and enable new services that benefit the venues. A wide range of mobile applications is set to storm the global market with private 5G network, generating more than $8 billion in revenue by 2026.

Stadiums and entertainment venues may benefit from private 5G network – the larger the events and audiences, the greater the financial benefits and viewership. People nowadays expect the same level of connection in a stadium as they do in their living rooms. They want to interact with their favourite team and share their experiences on social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook in real time. 

Smart stadiums are a relatively new concept, but they are becoming more popular and accessible as wireless connectivity capabilities improve and new private 5G solutions become available. These stadiums can provide premium services to people in the stadium using a private 5G network and a smart stadium platform. Using the same platform, the stadium management can also streamline maintenance and increase profitability of the venues.

If not managed properly, operational expenses can slowly eat away the profits of the stadium. Smart stadiums use mobile hotspots in accordance with IoT sensors to control lighting, HVAC systems, and security. These sensors can adjust temperature settings and lights to maximise efficiency without the need for human intervention.

During the recently-concluded FIFA World Cup in Qatar, people were able to watch the matches live on their mobile screen, complete with stats such as the name of the player on the ball, the number of metres he ran during the match, the number of minutes the player had the ball, and information such as the percentage of passes completed by the players, all while sitting in the stadium.

Smart stadiums can improve fan experiences while lowering the operational costs. Smart stadium services, such as food and beverage delivery, can encourage the fans to spend more money without the risk of missing an event. They can also access exclusive content on their mobile apps, which can assist them in navigating the stadium and boost future sales by opening up new marketing opportunities. This will not only increase the sales but also enhance the overall experience of people in the stadium.
