AT&T Looks to Kickoff 5G Demo During Football Tailgate in Atlanta

AT&T has filed a special temporary authority application with the FCC to conduct a 5G demo in Atlanta next month.

The demo, operating in the 28 GHz band, will happen at Atlanta’s Georgia International Plaza during a tailgate before the Atlanta Falcons vs. Dallas Cowboys game on Nov. 18.

AT&T said it’s working with Nokia and Jaunt to illustrate how 5G can deliver next-generation mobile content and immersive experiences. For example, what the company calls a “Touchdown Dance-Off” promotion will be showcased in Atlanta.

According to the application, the 5G demo will involve communications between up to two fixed base stations and up to four user equipment (UE) devices located within 100 meters of the base station antennas.  The base stations and UE antennas will be located outdoors with antennas less than 4 meters above the ground.
