AT&T is collaborating with Boingo to take the fan experience to the next level with the introduction of AT&T 5G+ at Vivint Arena. 5G+ is AT&T’s name for 5G delivered using millimeter wave spectrum, which is ideal for high-traffic areas. That means the players on the court won’t be the only ones putting up unprecedented performances. Why is this important? AT&T customers with a compatible device and qualifying plan will now have access to the super-fast speeds and increased connectivity ideal for popular venues like Vivint Arena.1 The arena is the region’s premier sports and entertainment venue and home to the NBA’s Utah Jazz and the 2023 All-Star Game along with a wide variety of marquee concerts. Who can use this? AT&T 5G+ will enable incredible innovation and unlock immersive experiences – especially when larger public gatherings are permitted once again. AT&T collaborated with Boingo, which manages the IT infrastructure at Vivint Arena, to design a coverage layout and install and manage our in-arena 5G+ sites, which will cover the seating bowl and concourses and bring faster speeds and greater connectivity to customers enjoying an event at the arena.1 © 2020 AT&T Intellectual Property.
