Fastweb will provide 5G network slicing at the America's Cup sailing competition for the Italian Luna Rossa team. The deployment will support telemetry data and video training during the event.
Fastweb said it will use 5G network slicing, which creates dedicated virtual segments on a 5G network for specific services, to handle Luna Rossa's telemetry and video training traffic. The source did not specify pricing, spectrum, device compatibility, or the event date.
The deployment shows how operators are using 5G network slicing in live event and enterprise settings that need separate network resources for defined workloads. In the broader eSIM and mobile connectivity market, this sits alongside other operator efforts to apply 5G features beyond consumer smartphone access, although the source did not mention eSIM, eUICC, or GSMA standards such as SGP.32.
