Narrator: Welcome to the T-Mobile United States
Sail Grand Prix Chicago at Navy Pier.
-: SailGP, it's the fastest boats,
the best sailors in the world.
-: It's more like a Formula 1 car.
-: The teams all race identical boats.
So it comes down to the skill of the athletes.
-: These boats are fast, furious,
we're going up to a 100 km/h.
-: It's so exciting.
The technology is just on another level.
Narrator: Look at the fans on the shoreline there.
What a great shot that is.
-: We have 48 cameras.
So that's two cameras per boat.
We have a helicopter.
We have chase boats, on-water assets as well.
Everything we do is wireless.
-: The latency of that is absolutely critical,
cuz of our broadcast,
but secondly because of the analysis
that's being done with that data.
-: We need to get information off the boat
as quick as possible.

-: Before the involvement of T-Mobile
we had real issues with latency and bandwidth.
It really affected our workflow here.
-: We're not like a regular sport
where you can paint the fields
like in football.
We're on water.
So we use augmented reality to picture
what goes on on the race course.
-: SailGP need low latency and high connectivity,
because we have to download
over 300,000 data point per second,
all the way from Chicago to Great Britain.
-: To make sure that the data is arriving
to the production studio
with as little lag as possible.
-: Because you want the data to be synchronized
with what you see visually.
And also the animations that are on the broadcast.
We're using our 5G network to attach GoPros
and transmit all the data over the network
at the same time.
-: The data comes off the boat through the T-Mobile network
and then teams consume the data metrics
and various analytics.
-: This is an unbelievable opportunity
for T-Mobile to demonstrate what our 5G network can do.
-: Now that we have this much faster 5G solution
from T-Mobile we can now look at different cameras
for the live television production.
-: It explains the racing even better.
Russel: This will really bring it much closer
to the fans.
-: This is ReadyNow! technology
to deliver unbelievable experiences
for the sport as a whole.
-: It can be customized for any other T-Mobile customer.
-: You wouldn't think of a wireless carrier
being the backbone of broadcasting 4k television
to a live sporting audience over CBS,
but that's what unconventional thinking does.
Alex: T-Mobile's 5G advanced network solutions
combined a 5G private network with deep systems integration
to create a new high bandwidth
low latency infrastructure for SailGP.
It delivers critical data in real time
to improve the broadcast, athlete performance
and the overall fan experience
with endless opportunities for future innovations.

-: I think there's a huge future here ahead of us.
-: I could sleep a little bit easier knowing that
T-Mobile's got my back.
