Overview

Crystal Football Club, in collaboration with GiveVision and Shared Access, introduced a cuttingedge vision enhancement system for fans with sight loss. Powered by Airspan’s advanced RAN technology, this project launched during the Crystal Palace vs Manchester United match on September 21st, allowing both home and away fans with visual impairments to experience live football like never before.

Challenges

The private 5G network built by Shared Access and powered by Airspan’s RAN technology provided the necessary ultra-low latency and high bandwidth to stream live match footage directly to GiveVision headsets. This network operated independently of public networks, ensuring seamless, uninterrupted service even on busy match days. Crystal Palace has set a new standard for inclusivity, allowing fans with sight loss to enjoy live football alongside other spectators and showcasing how technology can break down barriers for visually impaired supporters.
