Supported by the Digital Catapult and BDBF (Brighton Dome and Brighton Festival), Sceenic demonstrated successful use of their technology to all the special guests at the event: Orange, Google, Verizon, and many other media companies that had been invited to the ‘5G in Action’ event that took place at the Brighton Dome on the 29th of November 2019. #5GinAction
"It has been a rewarding journey to work with the Digital Catapult team and being able to deploy our technology on 5G. The results speak for themselves! We successfully demonstrated high-quality video and audio with minimal latency – proving that we can provide our clients access to the best-in-class co-viewing experience. That is the benefit that the 5G technology brings”

The Brighton Dome was the place chosen by the Digital Catapult and the UK Government to equipped with 5G technology as Brighton is a renowned centre for creativity and increasingly technology.
The 5G programme had the objective of being adopted and used by real companies, leading and showing how 5G can be applied and run in the real world. Sceenic demonstrated to all the attendees their Watch Together solution and highlighted the remarkable results between the performance over 4G and 5G technologies.
Interestingly, the Brighton Dome was the venue in 1974, when ABBA performed and won the Eurovision Song Contest; today one of Sceenic’s new clients announced that in May of this year, to make the ESC more interactive than ever before for their viewers, they will use Sceenic’s Watch Together technology.
