en.Wedoany.com Reported - MatSing's unique spherical lens antennas are providing 5G connectivity at 2026 FIFA World Cup stadiums, covering 15 of the 16 host venues across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, delivering uninterrupted mobile network services to hundreds of thousands of fans.
At modern sporting events, fans generate massive data demands by live streaming, uploading 4K videos, purchasing tickets, and buying snacks via mobile devices. Traditional antenna technology relies on reflection to focus signals in a single direction, making it difficult to efficiently cover large, crowded spaces. MatSing's technology employs refraction, using lightweight, low-loss dielectric metamaterials to develop spherical lens antennas that focus signals by bending electromagnetic waves, similar to how the human eye focuses light. This approach enables a single antenna to create multiple highly precise and isolated radio frequency zones or sectors.
The core of MatSing's technology lies in minimizing interference and maximizing spectral efficiency. By dividing the stadium seating bowl into different focused beams, the antenna precisely targets signals to areas such as the upper deck, the field, or surrounding parking lots. This antenna can simultaneously provide high-capacity 5G ultra-wideband and multi-band coverage to thousands of devices, maintaining the same network speeds as when the venue is empty. At MetLife Stadium, the host venue for the 2026 World Cup final, Verizon has deployed MatSing antennas as a macro layer covering the upper bowl area, working in coordination with traditional distributed antenna systems installed under seats. A single MatSing antenna can replace dozens of traditional panel antennas, reducing visual clutter and lowering installation and maintenance costs.
Venues deploying MatSing technology include MetLife Stadium, SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles), AT&T Stadium (Dallas), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), Hard Rock Stadium (Miami), BMO Field in Toronto, and Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The technology has previously been validated at events such as the Coachella Music Festival and the Super Bowl.
At MWC Barcelona 2026, MatSing demonstrated a high-capacity WiFi 6E lens antenna that supports 16 independent beams and 4×4 MIMO, covering thousands of users from a single installation point. MatSing was founded by Serguei Matitsine in Singapore in 2005, with the company name "Mat" representing materials and "Sing" representing Singapore. Its manufacturing, research and development, and design continue to be based in the Kaki Bukit industrial area.
