Telecommunications company EE trialled an instant replay service via 4G mobile technology during Saturday’s FA Cup final between Arsenal and Aston Villa.
The trial involved a number of spectators at Wembley Stadium in London during Arsenal’s 4-0 win.
EE, a sponsor of the stadium, connected multiple devices to one broadcast stream of live footage over its 4G mobile network, giving spectators a chance to watch multiple camera angles and replays using tablets. The service was available through a custom-built application, which also featured live statistical updates.
The trial worked with 20 devices, with a public service planned for 2016.
