According to Gartner, 5G outperforms Wi-Fi for select use cases and delivers higher throughput, lower latency, longer battery performance and simply connects more users and more devices, offering a high standard for anyone working in an outdoor setting.

LoyaltyMatch’s new 5G In/Festival solution includes beacons, all enabled with a solution-optimizing app that can be used to install, extend or manage the beacons. The beacons reside on the 5G Narrow Band IoT (NBIoT) spectrum, allowing for optimized data transfer for small intermittent blocks of data.
