AT&T Announces Availability of Super-Fast 5G+ Service at Seattle’s Football Stadium
AT&T’s 5G+ available for customers to experience while attending games and other events
First responders gain access to 5G+ on FirstNet®, America’s public safety network
What’s the news? We’re taking the fan experience to the next level with the introduction of AT&T 5G+ at Seattle’s downtown football and soccer stadium. 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 field 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 this one in Downtown Seattle.1
Who can use this? AT&T 5G+ will enable incredible innovation and unlock immersive experiences, especially when more fans are permitted inside the stadium to celebrate memorable plays and big Seattle wins.
In addition to fans, first responders on FirstNet – including agencies like Seattle Fire Department will also have access to 5G+ at the stadium. They will maintain voice communication through always-on priority and preemption on LTE and the intuitive FirstNet network will determine the best route for data traffic, whether that’s 5G+ or LTE spectrum.
Where can I get it? AT&T 5G+ is available in parts of 38 cities and more than 20 venues across the country. Learn more about AT&T’s 5G network at att.com/5gforyou and see AT&T’s 5G coverage in Seattle and Western Washington here.
