Verizon subscribers made up 60% of the crowd at the Super Bowl last month and consumed 47.8 TB of data.
While the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl on the field last month, Verizon might be considered the winner off the field and in the stands at State Farm Stadium. Before the game, the nation's largest wireless provider installed 490 5G nodes according to. These nodes transmit and receive data in densely populated areas such as the inside of a sold-out football stadium. 66 of the nodes were for Verizon's newest zippy mmWave 5G signals.
The thing to keep in mind is that mmWave 5G signals are the fastest but also travel the shortest distances. This makes these signals perfect for a stadium full of people shoehorned together as though they were sardines in a tin can. Low-band is used for nationwide 5G because these signals travel farther although the download data speeds are not much higher than 4G.
Verizon also added 45 nodes inside NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. These nodes will help deliver 5G mmWave and C-band signals to attendees of events at the stadium. More interesting, Verizon has created a technology that divides the crowds at the NRG Stadium into different sectors"like slices of a pie.
