AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- If “football is life,” then life is about to get a whole lot faster for fans of Austin FC.

With the launch of Ultra Capacity 5G at Q2 Stadium, T-Mobile customers can tap into download speeds up to 16 times faster during a crowded game, so they can do more of what they love, like video calls and post to social media. There are also tablets on-site, connected to T-Mobile’s network which grant access to ordering food and beverages. And for fans who aren’t T-Mobile customers, they can still experience the Un-carrier’s blazing speeds through Network Pass.

“Soccer fans have high expectations when it comes to getting the best experience at a match,” said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. “By bringing our Ultra Capacity 5G network to Q2 Stadium, we’re able to deliver outstanding connectivity and experiences, throughout the stadium and just in time for playoffs.”

“Q2 stadium is a world-class facility that prioritizes technology, hospitality, and above all, the guest experience,” said Andy Loughnane, Austin FC President. “We’re thrilled we can provide fans a best-in-class 5G experience during all Austin FC and Q2 Stadium events.”

T-Mobile worked with Austin FC’s connectivity partner, Boingo Wireless, which manages the converged, neutral host cellular distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi 6 networks throughout the stadium. This includes bowl seating, suites, club sections, concourses and the field, to power a highly-connected, fan-focused experience.

More than 46 sports and entertainment venues across the country are covered with UC 5G. And with the Un-carrier having the fastest network in 75 of the 100 most populous cities in the U.S. – including Austin ­– it won’t be the last.

T-Mobile is the leader in 5G with the country’s largest, fastest and most reliable 5G network. The Un-carrier’s Extended Range 5G covers nearly everyone in the country – 320 million people across 1.8 million square miles. 235 million people nationwide are covered with super-fast Ultra Capacity 5G, and T-Mobile expects to cover 260 million in 2022 and 300 million next year.
