ONE Championship, Xiaomi form partnership for 5G streaming technology

ONE Championship announced on Wednesday that it is forming a partnership with technology firm Xiaomi for its live sports production and broadcast.

Said partnership centers on the emerging use of 5G, something that Filipinos would be familiar with due to SMART's collaboration with the Philippine Basketball Association for 5G at the Clark bubble for the All-Filipino Cup.

Fight fans will be able to first observe this partnership on Friday, as ONE Championship holds its latest mixed martial arts event: ONE: COLLISION COURSE, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, as select content from the event will be made available through 5G streaming on the smartphone maker's flagship device for this year, the Mi 10.

ONE Championship Group President Hua Fung Teh states, "I am thrilled to announce this unique collaboration between ONE Championship and Xiaomi, one of the most well-loved technology brands in the world. It's a great opportunity to bring together the unrivaled action and excitement of ONE Championship martial arts with Xiaomi's fast, secure, and class-leading 5G technology. Just like our ONE Championship athletes, Xiaomi's latest Mi 10 smartphone packs a combination of raw power and excellent performance, and I am excited to showcase those capabilities with all of our viewers globally."

Xiaomi President of International Shou Zi Chew adds, "Xiaomi is delighted to deepen our ongoing partnership with ONE Championship, as we team up to inspire the next generation of sports and technology fans worldwide. By leveraging Xiaomi’s 5G-enabled Mi 10, users around the world can watch ONE Championship’s COLLISION COURSE competition from a new perspective. We look forward to showcasing the advantages of 5G technology and putting real-life superheroes in the palm of your hand."
