Next-generation communication 5G experience Sport service watching test services one after another August 25 15:00
Before the next-generation communication standard “5G” is fully launched next year in Japan, major telecommunications companies have launched a series of test services that allow the audience to experience technology at sports competitions.
Softbank provided a high-speed, large-capacity 5G test service for the Japanese national basketball game held in Saitama on the 22nd of this month.
In addition to allowing the audience to freely switch the images of the 30 cameras installed at the venue on the tablet and watch the game from various angles, VR = virtual reality technology goggles are attached. So that you can enjoy powerful images.
A 34-year-old office worker male who experienced the man said, “There is a sense of realism and it is a word of“ great ””. Mr. Makoto Noda, General Manager of Softbank Mobile Network Headquarters, said, “I want many people to experience the surprises unique to 5G and connect them to full-scale services.”
On the other hand, KDDI has developed a system that uses 5G for security at event venues that perform sports, etc., and plans to provide test services from this fall.
This means that high-definition images taken with drones or robot cameras are sent to the security base, and if there is a situation that can be met, such as snatching at the venue, an abnormality is detected using AI.
NTT DoCoMo is also planning to offer sports watching services using 5G at the Rugby World Cup, which will open next month.
