The first 5G experience of Indian consumers may be at a sports event, says report

5G will transform the sports experience for Indian fans in stadiums and at home, according to research conducted by Ovum for Amdocs, a provider of software and services to communications and media companies.
As per the report, 75% of Indian network operators taking part in the study plan to use virtual reality (VR) and all of them (100%) plan to use augmented reality (AR), supported by 5G, to offer richer viewing experiences to fans, both at the sports stadium and watching at home. Promising speeds up to tens of times faster and lower latency than 4G, 5G opens up the possibilities for new types of entertainment and in-stadium experiences. Audiences could, for example, watch instant replays and 360-degree streams or look up player stats via AR and VR technology, bringing them much closer to the action.
