1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: The experience you're going to have is going to change, 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: the rich, mussive experience that was never thought possible. It 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: will be possible with five G, especially from a sports 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: point of view. I'm excited about what it can bring 5 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: to the fans and provide a rich and a more 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: communal experience. And I think it's up to us across 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: MLB to make that possible, and we will. We're going 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: to have some interesting things in the Mobile Home Run 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: Derby and the All Star Game this year with the 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: A R and five G, and it will be fun 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: to showcase that to our fans. Welcome to the Restless Ones. 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: I'm Jonathan Strickland. I've spent more than a decade really 13 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: learning about technology, what makes it tick, and then describing 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: and explaining that to my audience. But it's the conversations 15 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: with the world's most unconventional thinkers, the leaders at the 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: intersection of technology and business that fascinated me the most. 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: In partnership with T Mobile for Business, I explore the 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: unique set of challenges that see I O S C 19 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: T o S face from advancements in cloud and edge computing, 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: software as a service, Internet of Things, and of course 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: five Gen we are often left wondering how the leading 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: minds and business continue to thrive. Let's find out. Today. 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: We have two guests from Major League Baseball or MLB, 24 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: the Sans Williams, Chief Product Officer and e VP of 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: Product and Engineering, as well as Truman Boys, s VP 26 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: of Infrastructure. In our last episode, I spoke with the 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: San Than Truman to learn more about their roles and 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: how they leverage technology to augment the game of baseball. 29 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: And by that I don't just mean the experience of 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: watching a game or even visiting a ballpark. It also 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: includes the game itself, which changes as coaches and players 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: gain access to more sophisticated technology and analytics. In today's episode, 33 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: we begin exploring how some emerging technologies are already having 34 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: an effect on how we experience baseball and what we 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: might expect in the future. I want to start with 36 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: talking about how MLB is planning on leveraging five G 37 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: connectivity with high frequency five G. Now that we're seeing 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: more and more five G supported devices coming out, we've 39 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: got a broader implementation of five G and different regions. 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: What are the plans for MLB to leverage five G? 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: I can speak to it on an infrastructure standpoint, I think, 42 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, overall, there may be additional product changes that 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: we we start to unlock, but I look at it 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: as a technology that unlocks possibilities. So to start with one, 45 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: it would be additional bandwidth and low latency and being 46 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: mobile matters. So you know, we talked about the thirty ballparks. 47 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: That's one thing, but we also service Jewel events, which 48 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: are you know, there's the t Mobile Home Run, Derby's, 49 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: there's Field of Dreams, and there's just all these other 50 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: things that support the game of baseball which are more 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: for transient or temporary connections and being able to have 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: either live video streamed out of these locations with adequate 53 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: bandwidth or stats or all of it. You know, it 54 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: may be all of that type of data that we 55 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: want to have delivered. And so you start there and 56 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: then you sort of, you know, build upon it. You know, 57 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: how can we have better security in the areas to 58 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: monitor anti drone technologies and things that we know we 59 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: care about, we care about, you know, how do we 60 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: protect the entire ballpark? Five G I think provides transport 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: and infrastructure to allow us to do that. So that's 62 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: from an infrastructure side, I'd say those are key points, 63 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: excellent fasof do you have any thoughts? Yeah, I would 64 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: say at this point we are scratching the selface and 65 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: all the possibilities of five gets. So if you really 66 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: take a step back and think about it, imagine you know, 67 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: the ballpark and the things five G allows you to do. 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: One of the things we talked about internally at MLBS, 69 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: how could we make the experience at the ballpark better 70 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: than watching it on TV? With all this different camera angle, 71 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: going to the ballpark experience should be, on part better 72 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: than watching it from home on your television. How can 73 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: we make that happen? I think five G enables that, 74 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you missed a play, or you want 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: to see it from an angle that has never seen before, 76 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: or you can see from a different camera angle itself, 77 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: we should be able to make that possible. And I 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: think I really provides that experience makes that possible, right, 79 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: And you'll see some of that coming out part of 80 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: a jewel the wind. But I think I'm excited what 81 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: five you can unlock. Yeah, I think of things like 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: augmented reality implementations that could go from anything from just 83 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: augmenting the experience of sitting between innings, two things that 84 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: are actively giving you more information about what you're seeing. Absolutely, yeah, 85 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: I can't wait. I'm curious. Also, where are some of 86 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: the bleeding edge technologies that you're eager to experiment with, 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: stuff that you know, you see the promise of that 88 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: tech and you're hoping that you might be able to 89 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: find meaningful ways to implement within the MLB approach. Definitely, 90 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: you already touched upon it a little bit. The augmented reality, 91 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: It's already here, but to a point where it is 92 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: not interfering with your actual physical experience. So that's to 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: me is the things that we're experimenting with augmented reality 94 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: need not just be through your phone. It could be 95 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: through your your smart class or any other device that 96 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 1: actually lets you experience a full physical reality as well 97 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 1: as and adds on to it versus right now, I 98 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: got to do one or the other. So at any 99 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: point in real time, you can say how fast the 100 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: pitch was, was the launch angle, and where are you 101 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: sitting in the field and really create an experience that 102 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: is really phenomenal and immersive for a fan, so that 103 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm excited about it and and it's going to happen. It's 104 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: a question of time and how fast we're going to 105 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: do it, and we're going to keep experimenting with it 106 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: and and the someth I'm so glad you brought that 107 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: up to because I agree. I think. I think when 108 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: we get to a point where are headsets are at 109 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: a level of sophistication and affordability, then they are truly 110 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: immersed in the experience while they still get the benefit 111 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: of that augmentation. I really look forward to the emergence 112 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: of that technology and the maturation of it. Um Truman, 113 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,559 Speaker 1: do you have any thoughts about any sort of bleeding 114 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: edge tech that. I mean, you've been working with things 115 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: like lidar and stuff already to a great extent, but 116 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: I think all those things are really exciting. I think 117 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: biometric access to ballparks is going to have a transformational impact. 118 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: I think to fans and even new fans, it's just like, 119 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: what's it like to go to a game? Oh wow, 120 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: I have to wait in all, you know, minutes to 121 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of get in here, and then I got to 122 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: deal with the concession stands. It's a lovely experience, but 123 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: making it better and finding ways to just even purchasing 124 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: items should just be a very seamless experience. We've we've 125 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: solved other places, and it would be nice to see 126 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: this make its way, you know, into into the ballparks. 127 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: And I think the second thing is it's a little 128 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: bit more reachable right now, which is a lower latency product. 129 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: So you know your phone and go and try and 130 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: watch a game live, you know, physically, go to the 131 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: ball park and look at the delta between when a 132 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: pitch is thrown and when you see it on your screen. 133 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: And the reason why this actually matters is because when 134 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: you get up for some reason and you want to 135 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: just see what just happened or what you missed, or 136 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: there's a cheering every everyone in the crowds are going 137 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: wild and then you're like, what I miss Well? How 138 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: nice would be able to pull that back up and 139 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: just go, oh wow, that's cool. All right, I'm back 140 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: in the game now, I saw what happened, and to 141 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: experience that to bring that latency down, and those technologies 142 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: are they're accessible to us, and so we're spending time 143 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: on this now to try to make the experience better. 144 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: And I guess it also really helps to be a 145 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: fan of baseball and to know what those experiences are like, 146 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: where are those potential pain points for fans, Like what 147 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: are the things that might be frustrating for a fan 148 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: UH and finding ways where technology can perhaps alleviate that 149 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: or speed things up so that it is a more 150 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: seamless and fun experience from start to a mission. At 151 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you go home after 152 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: the Braves have choked and playoffs, you can say like, well, 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: that was an amazing day, even if it didn't turn 154 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: out the way I wanted it to. Well. Um, I 155 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: also I'm curious how are you how are you leveraging 156 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: technology not just to UH to create new experiences for 157 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 1: baseball fans, how are you using it to attract new 158 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: fans to the game In what ways are you looking 159 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: at technology as a way of bringing in new people? 160 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: So we need to be where the fans are, so 161 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: the next generation of fans not just which digital places 162 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: they are, but also the way they consume media. It's different, 163 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: and if we don't adapt and provide them in the 164 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: way they consume, we're going to lose them in a 165 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: formordable long period of time. So we're leveraging all of 166 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: this new technology that we have to provide content in 167 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,119 Speaker 1: a way that's aging to them, whether it's shot from 168 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: white sized content where they have it on the go, 169 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: are you know you're morning ground up of what happened 170 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: last night. So those are biggers of investment for us. 171 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: We launched a product called Rally, which is a predicted 172 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: gaming where you can predict what's gonna happen while you're 173 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: watching the game. So the age group that plays that 174 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: game is significantly lower than our average baseball fan because 175 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: we're using technology and products and functionality that appeals to 176 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: the next generation is critically it changes all the time. 177 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: So as I talk to you about pace of change, 178 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: you know they go back five six years ago TikTok 179 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: was didn't exist or wasn't big, and we have to 180 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: continuously adapt and use technology to be in the forefront 181 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: of that. So I love that part of the strategy 182 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: is gamifying the baseball game. It's gamification taken to the 183 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: nth degree. But also, like as you point out, it 184 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: is interesting because part your challenges that you're looking at 185 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: making the all this amazing data, finding those meaningful implementations 186 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: of that data not just in one size fits all, 187 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: but in different aspects to appeal to the various UH 188 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: tendencies you you observe in different generations. I honestly have 189 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: not even thought about that. It's not just enough to 190 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: collect this information and not even enough to just package it. 191 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: You have to very intently create different packages for different 192 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: types of fans. And I would also add that you 193 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: should also allow them to create. What we are seeing 194 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: with the younger and newer fans, they want to be creators. 195 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: How could we let them create their own experience with baseball? 196 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: That's how we need to be thinking about. Uh, it's 197 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: not just we created and hey, hey take it, I 198 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: think you will like it, but rather allow them to 199 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: create their own experience when they interact with digital or 200 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: even when they go to the ballpark, creating what we 201 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: call the personalized experience. And what we've seen this the 202 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: next generation is very creative content creators in general. So 203 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: we want to be able to allow that to happen. Well, 204 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: it takes the baseball experience even more of as a 205 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: participatory thing as opposed to being a passive spectator of 206 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: a sport. Now, I feel like we've touched on this 207 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: a little bit because you've talked about how the data 208 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: you collect, you're able to share that with teams and coaches. 209 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: But how would you say that the game overall has 210 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: sort of evolved due to the fact that you have 211 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: the ability to to leverage this kind of technology and information. Well, 212 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I think on the macro level, you know, 213 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: probably you know, five to ten years ago, no one 214 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: has even heard of a launch angle velocity off the 215 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: bat was a stat that nobody knew because it simply 216 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: wasn't measured nor advertised. And I think you've seen impacts 217 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: to the game where you know, in the dugouts, you know, 218 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: there's you know, coaches have of iPads they're reviewing, you know, 219 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: some of the content of the players, so they're able 220 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: to provide coaching tips. This is happening as a real 221 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: time feedback loop, and it's supported by a bunch of 222 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: infrastructure to put in there, you know, high speed WiFi 223 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: or capabilities for four G and five G within the ballparks. 224 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: The other thing which is is super important to us 225 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: is around accuracy, so just accuracy of the tracking, but 226 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: also accuracy of all of the camera angles and distributing 227 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: them back to areas where they can be reviewed in 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: a very quick time. Period. So these are high frame 229 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: rate cameras. We're talking you know, normal cameras, you know, 230 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: anywhere from thirty to sixty frames per second. It's cameras 231 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: are like three thousand frames per second, so you can go, 232 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, clip, clip clip, Let's look at the way 233 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: that ball was spinning. Let's take a look at you know, 234 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: what's the foot on the bag. All of that is 235 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: sent back at very high bit rates, and so it's 236 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: just enabled better calls. It's enabled a better experience so 237 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: that you know, fans agree with that particular call that's 238 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: happening on field. Hopefully there's more of that. Yeah, it's 239 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: just small changes in tech are having monumental impact. It 240 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: just takes a little time for them to proliferate, so 241 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: we're getting there over time. If there's one thing most 242 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: businesses can agree on these days, it's that change has 243 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: never come about so quickly. New ways of working have 244 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: become the norm. As a result, the status quo no 245 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: longer cuts it when it comes to helping businesses adapt 246 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: and innovate.

Uh, something that would 270 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: not have been really possible without that kind of very 271 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: low latency, high throughput connectivity. Yeah, you're right. I think 272 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot that you can do with you know, 273 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: at least five megabits per second that you can realize 274 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: on five G and and upwards, and that just didn't 275 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: exist in the past. So you can have a near 276 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: parity with a wired connection with five G and latency 277 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: that matches an Ethernet connection. And so you know, it's 278 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: not just around you know, can we do the same 279 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: things that we were previously doing. It's just what can 280 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: you build on top of this when you have completely 281 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: open potential on any location and speeds that are adequate. 282 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: So we were excited about just the transport of video 283 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: infrastructure components, resilient connections that you know, if fiber connections 284 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: were to break in a ballpark, that we could route 285 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: that traffic back over five G and and protect the 286 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: streaming experience. Just all of it together, I think really 287 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: becomes you know, open and unlocked. So I really exciting 288 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: to be a part of it. I mean anecdotally. I 289 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: would also share that in Jersey City, in New Jersey, 290 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: I was able to get five megabus per second on 291 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: T mobile off my sailboat. So you know, it was 292 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: pretty nice to be able to connect back and stream 293 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: a game and get that kind of throue. But on 294 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: a boat no less. Yeah, well vacant. I'm very curious 295 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: because we've been talking a lot about these these new 296 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: experiences people can have and things that are uh that 297 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: are already out there at least in some form. Can 298 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: you kind of give me what you envision the experience 299 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: would be like going to what a baseball game five 300 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: years from now? I mean, clearly the Braves are in 301 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: the postseason, they're destined to win at this time, but 302 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: what's that experience like? Yeah? Absolutely, So there's two aspects 303 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: to when we think about what's five years gonna look 304 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: like from a technology and digital point of view. The 305 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: one big one asking about is the into the ballpark experience. 306 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: Where we think about it is what is the couch 307 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: to seat and back to couch experience should be? Sitting 308 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: in your couch. You you want to buy a ticket, 309 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: you could just ask you Alexa, Google Home, or your 310 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: Siri and you say, okay, you know, get me these 311 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: tickets to the Braves games. And it's just there and 312 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: goes into your wallet and and you say it's time 313 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: to go to the game, and you get into your 314 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: car and it's smart connected cards say, one of the 315 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: things you really want to make sure is like nobody 316 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: likes waiting in lines, whether it's at the concession stands 317 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: or trying to get in it. How do you have 318 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: minimize that? So you could order right from your car 319 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: and you walk into the ballpark and you go to 320 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: where you need to go and food is either delivered 321 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: to you where you're sitting or you just go pick 322 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: it up. There's no waiting and standing in line. There's 323 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: nothing coming in between your experience of the ballpark and 324 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: the game. So we want technology to take the backseat 325 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,200 Speaker 1: that just enables and figures out what you're mad seeing 326 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: most of experience. It's going to be every part of 327 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: your journey. It's connected. You know, if you want to 328 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: access and buy memorability or signed baseball. So it's just 329 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: all real, little easily done for you, and all your 330 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: there is to enjoy that moment with your family, your 331 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: friends and watch the game and hopefully people be back 332 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: and I can promise you will get there. I'm hoping 333 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 1: it's not five years, but much earlier than that. A 334 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: lot of the technologies are there. We just need to 335 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: make sure that that we do that at scale for people. 336 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: And I talked to you about allowing people to create 337 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: their own baseball experience, both physical and digital. That's what 338 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: we mean the san I think you just created a 339 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 1: new season ticket holder. Uh, probably more than one. So 340 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: that's that's a wonderful vision. Before I could let the 341 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: sant and Truan go, I needed to ask them one 342 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: more thing. The santh will start with you. What excites 343 00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: you most about five G? Look at that gets it's 344 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: the obvious ones. It's Uh, the experience you're going to 345 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: have is going to change the rich, mossive experience that 346 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: was never thought possible. It will be possible with five G. 347 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: It's still in the early stages, but I'm excited about 348 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: what especially from a sports point of view, I'm excited 349 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: about what it can bring to the fans and provide 350 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: a rich and a more communal experience. And I think 351 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: it's up to us, across MLB and across all the 352 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: leagues to make that possible, and we will and we'll 353 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: see We're going to have some interesting things in the 354 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: Mobile Home Run Derby and the Old Shot game this 355 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: year with the A R and five G and it 356 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: will be fun to showcase that to our fans. And 357 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: and Truman, same question to you, what excites you most 358 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: about five G? So I was just recalling one of 359 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: the first cell phones I had that had data capabilities, 360 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: which I think was like a Sony ericson phone with GPRS, 361 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: which at the time, you know, fifty six k bits 362 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: per second and it's like, wow, this is amazing. I 363 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: remember using it on the Acceller train going you know, 364 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: up to uh Boston, and I just thought it was 365 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: mind blowing that you could take data with you and 366 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: you didn't have to dial up. And we've just seen 367 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: phenomenal impacts with the data rates increasing. Has every new technology, 368 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: three G, four G, now five G. It just unlocks 369 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: capabilities and you see a richer media format in every 370 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: single site that you go to. So that's only going 371 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: to increase. And whether that's actually a R or you know, 372 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: it's four K or eight K streaming, these video streams 373 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: look beautiful and just imagine people to take that anywhere 374 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: you go, possibly give it to the kids in the 375 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: backseat of the car and they're streaming at you know, 376 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: four K. Just that's the kind of things that you 377 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: can do with five G. And I think it's just 378 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: going to open up the possibility for you know, a 379 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: more connected world, which I think has a lot of 380 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: benefits as well. Well. Said well, Lassans and Truman, thank 381 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: you so much for being on the show. I greatly 382 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thanks for having us. I again want to 383 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: thank the San and Truman for coming on the show 384 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: and sharing their vision of how technology can enhance the 385 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: world around us in meaningful ways by laying out infrastructure, 386 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: building engaging experiences, and leveraging the power of five G. 387 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: I have no doubt that MLB will continue to pull 388 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 1: in new generations of fans and they can't wait to 389 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: get back to a baseball game and see this technology 390 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: and action. As we see more sophisticate implementations of technologies 391 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: like augmented reality and the Internet of Things, we need 392 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: five G connectivity to make it all work as intended. 393 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: You don't want to try out a new interactive a 394 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: R feature in the baseball game and then wait for 395 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: everything to buffer that it cause you to miss the 396 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: next play. I really think that in terms of five 397 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: G utility, professional sports make a pretty great use case. 398 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: But the powerful story behind five G is that it 399 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: can enable technological processes in any kind of organization. If 400 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: there is a task that depends on high throughput and 401 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: low latency, five G is the answer, and all without cables. 402 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: Be sure to join us for more the restless ones 403 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: as we meet with thought leaders in tech.
