In today’s digital age, having robust network connectivity at major event venues has become increasingly crucial for enhancing the overall spectator experience. Smart‘s recent network performance demonstrations at key Philippine venues highlight why this matters.
Superior Connectivity for Real-Time Sharing
At recent high-profile events, Smart’s 5G network demonstrated impressive capabilities. During the FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers at SM MOA Arena, Smart 5G delivered download speeds of up to 231 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 45.7 Mbps. Similarly, at the Stray Kids concert at the Philippine Arena, even better performance was recorded with download speeds reaching 257 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 54.7 Mbps.
These speeds enable attendees to:
- Share live moments instantly on social media
- Stay connected with friends and family
- Access real-time information and updates
- Stream and upload high-quality content from the venue
Strategic Infrastructure Investment
Smart has taken proactive steps to ensure consistent performance by partnering with technology leaders Huawei and Ericsson. They have permanently optimized their LTE and 5G mobile network coverage in major venues including:
- Philippine Arena in Bulacan
- Smart-Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City
- SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City
This infrastructure investment demonstrates Smart’s commitment to providing a “world-class mobile experience” for Filipinos attending major events, whether they’re cheering for Gilas Pilipinas or enjoying international concert performances.
The reliable network performance at these venues ensures that attendees can fully participate in the digital aspects of modern event experiences while enjoying the live entertainment, creating a more immersive and connected experience for all participants.
