This article by Verizon titled Verizon amps up the concert experience: Superfast connections for superfans shares their study on fans demanding a new level of connectivity. Verizon explores how fans attending live events, particularly concerts, are increasingly expecting high-speed, reliable connectivity to enhance their experience. In recent years, the demand for real-time social media sharing, high-definition live streaming, and instant access to event-related content has grown dramatically. Fans no longer just want to be spectators; they want to be active participants in the digital ecosystem surrounding the event.
Verizon’s study focuses on how their technology and infrastructure are evolving to meet these demands, particularly through the use of 5G and other high-performance wireless technologies. At large events, where crowds can often overwhelm traditional networks, ensuring consistent and fast connections is crucial. These enhancements improve the fan experience—not just by allowing for social media sharing and live streaming, but also by potentially offering new features like real-time event data, immersive AR/VR experiences, and even more personalized interactions with the event.
Verizon is positioning itself to cater to the growing need for “superfast” connections at live events, ensuring fans can connect, share, and enjoy an elevated experience without connectivity frustrations.
Good on them!
