The start-up Augmented Acoustics, accelerated by Orange Fab France, will provide its technology. Specifically, viewers can select one or more different audio sources to get a personalized sound. “By mixing them, they will focus on the sound of the kick in the ball, the atmosphere in the various stands, the audio description and various comments  through headsets on mobiles connected to the 5G antenna of the stadium “ , illustrated Orange.

In terms of operational efficiency, the Orange Vélodrome should also be a winner. The sports venue will be able to collect data from various sensors in real time. “The IoT should allow it to save money, optimize its energy footprint and its environmental equation”,  according to the telecom operator.

Sport performance analysis, refined by connected objects in recent years, could also benefit from 5G connectivity in the future.
