Over the weekend, Marcus Ericsson won the 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500, or the Indy 500, a major racing event that takes place annually at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. According to Verizon, more the 325,000 fans attended the race and among them, plenty of Verizon customers. Those customers, said the carrier, used more than 17 terabytes of data on race day.
Supported by Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband — the brand name for its millimeter wave (mmWave) and C-Band network — customers streamed, tweeted and posted about the event. They were also able to use a featured called 5G Multi-View to view, which offers several unique, live high-definition camera angles of the action.
