What's your challenge?
We want to change the way people do and watch sports, and we want to hear your creative ideas what the future of sports should look like.
We will bring 5G to Helsinki in 2018. 5G is a journey from 4G to new services, which will be enabled by lightning fast connections, millisecond delay and a hundred times more bandwidth. We are looking for fresh ideas what the services, enabled by 5G, could and should look like. We are for example arranging one of the first 5G Hackathons in the world this summer and now, we want to bring the challenge to you.
Telia has introduced two major co-operations in the field of sports in Finland: On April we introduced "Telia 5G Areena" where we are focusing on how to improve the "sports fan experience" in the field of football. Secondly, we will be the new media partner of Finnish national ice hockey league "Liiga". Telia plays a big role in the field of sports in Finland and therefore we want to challenge you to create new experiences for all of us Finns. At the same time, we get to be at the cutting edge of sports in the world.
What are we looking for?
We want you to come up with an idea which adds value to the world of sports, utilising 5G as an enabler. Your solution should answer to at least one of the following questions:
- How would you improve the sports' TV viewer experience?
- How your personal sport or fitness experience and performance could be enhanced by 5G?
- What role virtual reality could have in sport experience?
- What kind of things would make the customer experience better at the arena (football or ice hockey)?
- Could there be a social media app for watching sports which could make watching even more fun?
We are looking for a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP) to be presented as a plan of a web page or an app (so not the real product), video, demo or a slideshow.
What is MLP? Minimum Lovable Product stands for a solution, which aims to create something that your customers will fall in love with. We want to challenge and inspire you to come up with a solution that truly resonates with the end user.
Skipped marathon? No worries, we are looking for your visions and passion, not your running record.
All solutions will be reviewed by our 5G team, which is responsible for innovating new use cases for 5G. We are always looking for new and fresh ideas and we are eager to see what you come up with!
In case you have any questions regarding the challenge, our 5G enthusiasts are happy to help you!
