Episode 88 of The 5G Podcast explores a surprising new frontier for wireless networks: live theater. Lucas and Luna dive into how Broadway and West End productions are using private 5G networks to enable real-time augmented reality sets, wireless sound systems that eliminate latency, and backstage logistics that let stagehands coordinate complex set changes with split-second precision. The episode centers on a specific case: the 2025 revival of 'Sunday in the Park with George' at the Hudson Theatre in New York, which used a dedicated CBRS band 5G network to run over 200 wireless devices simultaneously — from AR glasses worn by the audience to sensor-laden props. Lucas breaks down the technical architecture, the cost savings versus traditional wired setups, and why theater makers are calling it 'the biggest technical shift since electric lighting.' Luna challenges him on the risk of tech overshadowing performance, and they debate where the line between enhancement and gimmick lies. The episode closes with a look at how regional theaters and touring productions might adopt the technology in the next few years. Plus, a brief behind-the-scenes moment about how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #5G #LiveTheater #Broadway #WestEnd #PrivateNetworks #CBRS #AugmentedReality #WirelessAudio #BackstageTech #DigitalTransformation #TheaterTech #SundayInTheParkWithGeorge #HudsonTheatre #NetworkSlicing #LowLatency #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
