This presentation explores the successful, league-wide deployment of Verizon’s Private 5G Wireless Network (PWN) across all 25 NHL arenas in the United States. As the NHL’s Official 5G Partner, Verizon has established a secure, high-speed, and low-latency digital foundation critical for a new era of connectivity. The PWN enables advanced applications that are transforming two key areas: operational excellence for staff (e.g., real-time coach-to-video access and enhanced connectivity for officials) and immersive, next-generation fan experiences (e.g. goalie/net multi-view camera broadcast innovations).
Learn how a dedicated Private Network acts as a secure ‘express lane’ for critical data, showcasing how the NHL is leveraging 5G and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) to redefine how the game is played, managed, and viewed.
