Sky, Vodafone test live Bundesliga coverage over 5G

Fans will be able to watch the match in 9:16 ratio via their smartphones.

Sky Deutschland and Vodafone are joining forces to broadcast pre- and post-game coverage of a Bundesliga.2 match over 5G.

The game between Fortuna Düsseldorf and VFL Osnabrück takes place on Wednesday 16th December 2020.

Fans will be able to watch the match in 9:16 ratio via their smartphones.

The production will use images from both wireless cameras and mobile phones that are transmitted directly to a virtual studio in the Cloud and then onto the viewer’s TV or phone screen.

Vodafone will use network slicing in order to ensure the transmission 5G is reliable.
