The world cup that runs on 5g NGMN

Measuring the most connected World Cup in history — in real time

Innovation often comes from new ways of understanding real-world challenges.

That’s why NGMN is pleased to support Mundial 5G, an initiative by TeleSemana that estimates mobile data traffic in real time across FIFA World Cup stadiums, offering unique insights into how networks perform during one of the world’s largest live events.

After just six days and 20 matches, the initiative has already measured an estimated 770 TB of mobile data – showing that peak traffic often occurs at half-time, and that network demand reflects fan engagement as much as attendance.
