Austin FC announced upgrades to T-Mobile’s Ultra Capacity 5G network at Q2 Stadium, meaning the network will now operate at faster speeds for T-Mobile users inside Q2 Stadium on match days.

With the upgrades, T-Mobile customers can now tap into download speeds up to 16 times faster during crowded matches. There are also tablets on-site at the stadium, connected to T-Mobile’s network which grant access to ordering food and beverages.

ā€œQ2 Stadium is a world-class facility that prioritizes technology, hospitality, and above all, the guest experience,ā€ said Andy Loughnane, Austin FC President. ā€œWe’re thrilled we can provide fans a best-in-class 5G experience during all Austin FC and Q2 Stadium events.ā€

ā€œSoccer fans have high expectations when it comes to getting the best experience at a match,ā€ said Neville Ray, President of Technology at T-Mobile. ā€œBy 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.ā€

Austin FC’s connectivity partner Boingo Wireless – which manages the converged,Ā neutral hostĀ cellular distributed antenna system (DAS) and Wi-Fi 6 networks throughout the stadium – worked with T-Mobile on the upgrades. The upgrades will increase network speeds in areas including bowl seating, suites, club sections, concourses and the field, to power a highly-connected, fan-focused experience.
