America’s largest 5G network to power exclusive
batting practice streams, bringing fans unprecedented immersive
action in real time
5G is your field pass at the World Series! Today, T-Mobile
(NASDAQ: TMUS), Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball
Players, Inc announced they’re putting fans onto the field
alongside the world’s best players as they gear up for the 116th
Fall Classic, bringing people closer than ever to the action with
T-Mobile 5G BP.
With 5G-powered cameras on America’s largest 5G network, the
Un-carrier and MLB will present a streaming batting practice show
like nothing fans have ever seen: T-Mobile 5G BP. T-Mobile 5G
BatterCams mounted on caps of players and coaches will provide a
first-person view of the action on the field in real-time.
360-degree T-Mobile 5G FieldCams will also deliver an immersive
view, virtually transporting fans onto the field. The unprecedented
event is made possible by T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network which
enables high-definition cameras to transmit wirelessly, allowing
for true mobility.
“Connectivity has never been more important – to connect people
to family, work, school … and now America’s game,” said Neville
Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “5G will change the way
we live, work and play. A broadcast like this has never been done
before, and it offers a glimpse at how wireless connectivity is set
to transform the way we watch and interact with live sporting
events and more … and how only T-Mobile is able to unleash the
power of 5G with America’s only 5G network offering both coverage
AND speed.”
“We are always exploring new ways to increase access to the game
and players, bringing them closer to our fans and this year that is
more important than ever,” said Noah Garden, MLB Chief Revenue
Officer. “Throughout our partnership, T-Mobile has continually
brought innovation and creativity to their MLB promotions and this
5G BP streaming show is yet another great example of that. We’re
looking forward to giving our fans this new perspective on the Fall
Classic thanks to T-Mobile.”
“Through the power of T-Mobile’s 5G service, we are excited to
offer fans a bird’s-eye view of what batting practice looks like
from the perspective of a Major League baseball player,” said Evan
Kaplan, Managing Director of MLB Players, Inc.
This special pre-game livestream will air before Game One of the
World Series on the MLB app, MLB.TV, MLB.com, Twitch, @MLB on
Twitter, the Official MLB Facebook page and the MLB VR app on
Oculus, as well as T-Mobile’s Beyond the Bases page. Fans can check
it out on Tuesday, October 20 in the hours before the first pitch.
The broadcast will be produced by MLB Network and co-hosted by MLB
Network’s Lauren Gardner and analyst Sean Casey.
T-Mobile has the first and largest nationwide 5G network
covering 260 million people across more than 7,500 cities and
towns, enabling 5G experiences like this in more places than any
other provider. And it’s getting bigger and better every day as the
Un-carrier continues to deploy mid-band 5G spectrum from Sprint,
bringing average download speeds in areas where mid-band is
deployed 7.5x greater than LTE today. T-Mobile’s mid-band 5G will
be available in thousands of cities and towns by the end of the
year.
