Boldyn Facilitates the Lahti Ski Games with a Private 5G Network

Company is delivering a private 5G mobile network constructed in a van as an alternative solution that is both cost-effective and quick to deploy.

Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), the premier neutral host provider globally, is forthcoming at the Lahti Ski Games to unveil a private 5G network. The objective is to assess the extent to which this cutting-edge technology improves the overall experience of cultural and athletic events.

Events of diverse natures, spanning from brief assemblies to prolonged festivals, frequently confront obstacles associated with conventional network infrastructure as a result of the substantial financial investment and time commitment required for implementation. Boldyn, in an effort to address these issues, is delivering a private 5G mobile network constructed in a van as an alternative solution that is both cost-effective and quick to deploy.

In addition to documenting the event's pivotal moments, Yle, the Finnish public service media organization entrusted with the responsibility of broadcasting the Lahti Ski Games, will evaluate the capabilities of the private 5G network. By administering this examination, they will ascertain whether the private 5G network is in accordance with their overarching strategy for forthcoming broadcasting.

During the event, Yle and Boldyn intend to evaluate whether a private 5G network is capable of delivering the required network capacity and low latency to accommodate a significant number of attendants, especially in situations where public mobile networks might encounter congestion issues.

Secure 5G networks provide numerous benefits in terms of uninterrupted broadcasting. By doing so, the necessity for optical fiber deployment during broadcasting preparations can be eliminated, resulting in significant time and cost savings. Moreover, private 5G networks can improve broadcasting quality in numerous technological ways:

• In order to mitigate interference during live transmission, private 5G networks that function on private frequencies substantially diminish the probability of interference originating from other users, especially in densely populated environments such as the Skiing Games.
• Ensuring adequate capacity and minimal latency for the transmission of high-resolution videos: Private 5G networks guarantee that the transmitted video maintains the same exceptional quality as its original recording, providing viewers at home with an ideal viewing experience of the most significant moments in sports.

The endeavor is an expansion of Boldyn's vast expertise. Boldyn has completed more than fifty private network implementations in seven European countries, giving it extensive knowledge of private network deployment from conception to conclusion, including design, construction, and operation. The Lahti Ski Games provide an ideal setting for showcasing the capabilities of private 5G networks. Boldyn and its clients have the opportunity to advance to the vanguard of live event broadcasting.

The forthcoming Lahti Ski Games will function as a practical environment to assess the performance of the private 5G network under operational circumstances prevalent in the real world. A comprehensive examination and assessment will be undertaken by YLE and Boldyn in order to ascertain the viability of harnessing private 5G networks.
