Program Members Showcase Immersive Experiences Powered by AT&T 5G – L.A. Street Festival, Friends Getaway, 5G Hackathons and More
Shortly after we were the first in the U.S. to make mobile 5G a reality in 2018 we launched the AT&T 5G Innovation Program with industry leaders in their own right – Cisco, Ericsson, Infosys, Intel, Magic Leap, Microsoft, Nokia, Samsung and WarnerMedia. Through the program we’ve made tremendous progress working across the industry to create, develop and showcase the future of a 5G connected world that will change the way you interact with your entertainment, your communities and each other.
“We’re creating the largest known collection of 5G experiences across the country, and we’re starting to make them available to various businesses so they can change the way they interact with their customers and fans,” said Kevin Petersen, Senior Vice President, Device and Network Services Marketing, AT&T. “This is a critical stop on our path to creating compelling experiences that will engage and excite consumers starting later this year.
