In the middle of February, 2019 the movie center of Odeon in Oslo in cooperation with the Norwegian telecommunication operator Telia announced start first-ever a 5G movie theater. Movies in it are output on the screen through mobile networks.
Unlike earlier generations of mobile technologies when at first networks were developed, and only then there were applications and services, in a 5G everything occurs upside-down. Development of a 5G is conducted from the point of view of the client – at first options of use of new technologies and scenarios of service are studied, and the development stage begins then. The Odeon movie theater which is located in a coverage of pilot network was one of unexpected options of use. It is the biggest movie theater in Oslo with 14 halls equipped with the newest technologies of a sound and the image.
Telia announced opening of the first of a 5G movie theater in December, 2018, but three more months tested for assessment of potential of new technology. According to withdrawals of the management of movie theaters, broadcasting passed through a 5G perfectly though during tests the new network was used only for video transmission on own servers of the company for the subsequent demonstration.
Broadband wireless connectivity of a 5G can become a good alternative to storage of files on local servers even for movie theaters when buffering or decline in quality of the movie are inadmissible. As at movie theaters it is usually used a type of ultrahigh clearness (4K) and higher quality, the 5G can become excellent option.
During tests Telia strove for data transmission with a speed of 2.2 Gbps that is 5-20 times faster, than at a standard customer network 4G. Besides, the 5G opens new opportunities before movie theaters. Response time made only 7-8 milliseconds, i.e. about one fifth from a delay 4G that will allow movie theaters to broadcast in the future performances and concerts in real time.[1]
