Telefónica demonstrates at the MWC how its 5G network can save lives in a full stadium thanks to Titan Connect

Telefónica has taken advantage of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) showcase to show one of its new proposals aimed at the business market: Titan Connectan ecosystem of solutions designed to guarantee secure and uninterrupted communications in critical and exceptional situations.

The teleco has recreated a Champions League football match in its stand in a stadium with capacity for 90,000 people. In this context, the network must simultaneously support the massive data traffic of those attending the sporting event—messages, videos, publications on social networks—while ensuring managing a medical emergency in real time.

The solution combines 5G connectivity, fiber and satellite backupalong with observability tools based on artificial intelligence that allow real-time monitoring of the network’s status and performance. In this way, Telefónica’s public infrastructure offers “the best service in this type of event” and allows the public to “have a good digital experience” not only on their devices, but also in the stadium, through elements such as video scoreboards or vending machines.

In the simulation, when a spectator suffers a sudden fall coinciding with a moment of maximum tension in the match – the taking of a penalty -, The system is capable of automatically prioritizing communications related to healthcare. This maintains overall data flow while ensuring a secure and stable connection for emergency services.

Network Slicing and real-time analysis

One of the central elements of the proposal is the use of Network Slicing in 5G Stand Alone (SA), which allows creating virtual private networks with specific characteristics within the public network. In this case, the technology facilitates a priority connection for medical devices, drones or video surveillance systems.

The demonstration also incorporates Computer Vision for real-time image and video analysis, monitoring the stands to detect possible anomalies such as the fall of a person who needs medical attention. This system alerts those responsible for the stadium and activates a drone that transports a defibrillator to the scene of the incident, in addition to sending the coordinates to a paramedic.

The journey continues in the ambulance, equipped with a connected medical backpack that It collects vital signs and allows a video to be transmitted to the hospital with the tests so that they can be evaluated by a specialist. An artificial intelligence system automatically generates the transcription of the clinical dialogue and completes the patient’s medical record, which is subsequently validated by the physician.

Business focus and strategic sectors

Titan Connect was launched in January 2026 with the aim of integrating connectivity technologies (fiber, 5G SA and satellite), cloud and edge services, automation and advanced monitoring tools, as well as 24×7 management and support, under the same architecture.

The company emphasizes that “this ecosystem of solutions protects the continuity of the activity of companies and administrations, and facilitates the deployment of new digital services.” Furthermore, they point out that This approach responds to a growing demand for operational continuity by companies and public administrations. Sectors such as healthcare, transportation, energy, industry, banking or retail depend on stable digital infrastructures to guarantee essential services, where any interruption can lead to economic impacts or even risks for people.
