AT&T brings out “Turbo Live” stadium connectivity service at live events

As of 30 September 2025, AT&T was the third “nationwide” mobile network
operator (MNO) in the US, with a 27.5% market share behind T-Mobile (36.9%)
and Verizon Wireless (33.7%). US MNOs have deployed 5G using three layers of
spectrum: low-band (<1GHz), mid-band (3.5-6 GHz) and high-band (24GHz-40
GHz) also called millimeter wave (mmWave).

AT&T launched its commercial 39GHz mmWave 5G network in December 2018.
In September 2025, mmWave 5G connectivity (branded “5G+”) was available in
selected parts of 50 cities. 5G+ offers extra speed and capacity and is intended
for high-traffic areas like campuses and arenas

Turbo Live Description

AT&T has launched Turbo Live in February 2026, a paid add-on to supply highpriority data access at live events for attendees with eligible 5G smartphones. The
service welcomes not only AT&T subscribers, but also T Mobile and Verizon
customers, who may need an unlocked device and an open eSIM slot.
Users sign up digitally to access Turbo Live and enjoy a performance boost that
ensures they do not miss any peak moments of the game / show.

They will also be assured of their ability to upload photos and posts on social media. The enhanced connection will last throughout the event, and after it ends, users receive a
personalized recap showing how Turbo Live kept them seamlessly connected.

At launch, Turbo Live was available at 11 US venues, such as the United Center
(Chicago), the NRG Stadium (Houston), the Sphere (Las Vegas) or the MetLife
Stadium (NY/New Jersey) with more stadiums to follow.

Pricing starts at $5 per event with a variable structure that changes depending on the size of the event.
