NTT and NTT East conducted a demonstration experiment in June at MUFG Stadium (National Stadium) during a J.League match, utilizing a local 5G environment built within the stadium to use footage from referee cameras, steady cameras, and gimbal cameras for live J.League broadcasts.

The demonstration confirmed that local 5G enables high-definition, low-latency, and stable video transmission, meeting the video quality requirements for live sports broadcasts. In addition, it was confirmed that the use of diverse viewpoints, including referee cameras, contributes to the efficiency of the video production environment and offers the potential to provide a new, immersive video experience.

Going forward, NTT and NTT East will promote the development and utilization of local 5G to address the challenge of securing a communication environment for stable transmission of high-definition, low-latency video in stadiums. The aim is to achieve advanced and efficient video production in stadiums and further enhance the value of the viewer’s video experience.
