Calling all hockey fans! Get ready for an immersive experience like never before. Verizon is teaming up with the National Hockey League (NHL) to pilot private 5G networks in select arenas across the United States. This cutting-edge technology promises to revolutionize the game both on and off the ice.

“The passion for innovation and the work already done in partnership with Verizon makes this renewal even more exciting for us,” said David Lehanski, NHL Executive Vice President, Business Development and Innovation. “Creating the solutions and experiences of tomorrow is not only a function of applying cutting-edge technologies from world-class companies – it’s also a function of being able to truly collaborate with them to uncover meaningful new use cases.”

Instead of relying on public 5G networks, these private setups offer dedicated bandwidth and ultra-low latency, perfect for demanding applications. Imagine instant replays streamed directly to your phone, real-time player stats displayed through augmented reality, or even enhanced security measures powered by connected cameras. But the benefits extend far beyond dazzling fans. Private 5G empowers game operations. Referees can leverage 5G-enabled tablets for expedited call reviews, coaches can analyze real-time data on their iPads, and arena staff can communicate seamlessly with improved network coverage.
