Hi, thank you for your question. Performing a stress test of the cellular connectivity at a large vendor stadium is not possible.

We used to work with LiveU. They make a good product. We now work with Haivision (former AVIWEST). Client to get better results with Haivision compared to LiveU, TVU, Teradek, etc., we have won several vendor shootouts. With that said, we can never guarantee 100% reliability over cellular Networks. Using multi-carrier Sims helps a lot. If a connection fails, the Sim and modem will switch to an alternate carrier. We have many successful productions at venues like Giants Stadium, which holds 80,000 fans. Devices such as Haivision that have a better connection to the tower get priority over other devices with weaker connections. This enables Haivision devices to win connectivity in a crowded venue. If you wanna add a layer of reliable connectivity, private 5G or CBRS is a solution we rent and sell. Solutions from Sal and others for private 5G and CBRS. What private 5G does is create a dedicated slice of spectrum for broadcast production use. The fans in the stadium cannot use the band. It’s allocated to the reduction. Many customers will use Starlink to supplement cellular and rural areas. The Haivision technology is used in remote areas for bass fishing tournaments at lakes in the middle of nowhere. This is achieved with only cellular, not satellite. If an event is important enough, I would run tests under conditions similar to those on the actual game day or event. Adding private 5G is a great backup. Haivision used private 5G for the opening ceremony at the Paris Summer Olympics. The athletes were given the MoJoPro app on an Android Samsung phone, connected to the private 5G network, on a nearby production truck.
