Facing the future of live events with Verizon and Wicket

We’ve waited a long time to be able to safely return to the live events we love. By pairing Wicket’s access control software with the low lag times and cloud-based processing power of Verizon 5G Edge, we hope to help keep event lines—and the fan experience—moving forward.

  • Wicket facial recognition device



  • Convenience

    With Wicket’s facial recognition system, you will be able to use your face as your ticket by opting in, uploading a photo and linking your tickets—all from home. At the event, simply show your face to the sensor at the gate and enjoy the event.

“When I look at the future, I'm very excited at the idea that technology seems to be at the center of where experiences and interactions are going.”

  • Speed

    The speed of 5G Ultra Wideband and the edge computing power of 5G Edge could make it possible to analyze and authenticate enrolled users in the blink of an eye.
