AT&T has delivered a first-of-its-kind football helmet to Gallaudet University, the global leader in bilingual education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, in Washington, D.C.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The telecommunications giant has collaborated with the university to deliver a 5G-connected helmet that will make it easier for coaches and players to communicate during games, making the game more inclusive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This innovative helmet allows coaches on the sideline to select a play from a tablet that will appear inside the helmet on a lens. The quarterback wearing the helmet will be receiving the play in augmented reality on the digital display located within the visor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We practice the same way, we compete the same way,” Gallaudet head football coach Chuck Goldstein said in a press release. “The difference between coaching a hearing team compared to a Deaf team is, first, the communication. The AT&T 5G-connected helmet will change football.”<\/p>\n AUTHOR DISHES ON FTX FOUNDER’S PAYMENTS TO TOM BRADY, STEPH CURRY<\/strong><\/p>\n “The new AT&T 5G-connected helmet will have a major impact on the game of football, especially for our deaf and hard-of-hearing players who lacked direct access to communications with their coaches during their high school years,” special teams coordinator and former Gallaudet player Shelby Bean added.<\/p>\n “This will help to level the playing field for mainstreamed athletes. As a former player, I am very excited to see this innovative technology change our lives and the game of football itself.”<\/p>\n AT&T believes the technology could be used in any helmet for any sport, which would improve inclusion elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n AT&T unveiled the first-ever 5G-connected football helmet for deaf and hard-of-hearing football players that shows an LED screen inside the helmet for play calls.<\/span> (AT&T \/ Fox News)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n AT&T posed the question, “Could a 5G-connected helmet improve safety on construction sites or for first responders?”\u00a0<\/p>\n “Together with Gallaudet, we are proving that connecting changes everything,” said Corey Anthony, senior vice president of network engineering and operations at AT&T. “Our expertise in connectivity, combined with Gallaudet’s legacy of breaking down barriers, has created a helmet that not only transforms the way deaf and hard-of-hearing athletes engage in sports but opened up endless possibility for innovation.”<\/p>\n On top of developing the helmet for the university, AT&T will also be donating $500,000 to the Gallaudet football program, and every Bison player will get a new helmet.\u00a0<\/p>\n AT&T unveiled the first-ever 5G-connected football helmet for deaf and hard-of-hearing football players<\/span> (AT&T \/ Fox News)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP<\/strong><\/p>\n Gallaudet will debut the helmet against Hilbert College Oct. 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Check out what’s clicking on FoxBusiness.com AT&T has delivered a first-of-its-kind football helmet to Gallaudet University, the global leader in bilingual education for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, in Washington, D.C.\u00a0 The telecommunications giant has collaborated with the university to deliver a 5G-connected helmet that will make it easier for coaches and players to communicate …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8076"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/farratanews.online\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"AT&T](\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxbusiness.com\/foxbusiness.com\/content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/931\/523\/ATT-Helmet-2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1\")
