In recent trials, the university said fans were able to stream “four high-quality live video feeds, directly to their mobile devices, all at the tap of a screen“.
The technology, also promises fans live players statistics, exclusive behind-the-scenes views and real-time queue navigation among other things.
Ms Simeonidou, said they were “thrilled” to see this “new platform technology in action”.
“Thanks to 5G broadcast capabilities, the app offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional cellular solutions, which is particularly important for large sporting venues where mobile connectivity is often unreliable during peak usage.
“This successful trial also marks a key milestone for Bristol’s Smart Internet Lab as we celebrate our 10th anniversary,” she added.
