21st Century Fox Inc.'s FOX Sports will use 5G technology to stream 4K video across the U.S. from the 118th U.S. Open Championship.
The network will work with Fox Innovation Lab and partners Ericsson AB, Intel Corp. and AT&T Inc. for the 4K video streaming, according to a May 15 news release.
The 5G wireless technology will transmit 4K HDR images from two FOX Sports cameras positioned on the par-3 seventh hole at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club through the FOX Sports production truck.
AT&T also plans to be the first U.S. carrier to launch standards-based, mobile 5G services to customers in a dozen cities across the U.S. later this year.
