The Winter Olympics Will Be A Coming-Out Party For 5G Wireless
0
Korea will show off its tech prowess with high-speed networks beaming realtime video and VR straight from athletes to spectators.
The world record speed for a bobsled is 125 mph. Whether or not any teams beat that during the Winter Olympics in Korea, they will collectively set a different speed record: for beaming data from a bobsled to a cell tower, at several gigabits per second. Bobsledding is one of the sports, along with figure skating, that wireless provider KT Corporation (formerly Korea Telecom) will use to highlight 5G wireless technology. Intel and Samsung will provide tech for many of the demos, which the lucky few attending the games will get to see.
