New Report report cites more than 58% of Airports investing in 5G communications network development -- our take on what this means for Cloud Gaming and How Blacknut can help!
In an increasingly connected world, gaming has evolved beyond the constraints of physical hardware. One of the most exciting trends which reshaped the gaming landscape is cloud gaming— technology that allows you to play high-end games without the need for a powerful console or PC. All you need is a reliable internet connection. And now, airports across the world are starting to see this need met!
Originally reported by Business Insider:
Roughly 58% of airports worldwide that participated in the survey are investing in major development programs for a 5G communications network, and another 29% have research-and-development programs for the tech by 2026, said the 2023 Air Transport IT Insights report from SITA, an IT and telecommunications service provider for the aviation industry, and Airports Council International.

As a quick reminder, what exactly is cloud gaming?
Cloud gaming operates by running games on powerful remote servers in data centers. The gameplay is streamed to your device in real time, like how Netflix streams movies. You input commands on your device (like moving a character or shooting), which are sent to the server, and the server responds by updating the game state and sending the visuals back to you.
The result? You can play even the most graphically demanding games on lightweight devices without needing to carry around a console or gaming PC.
Why Blacknut is Perfect for Airport Travelers
1. Portability
For travelers, portability is key. You no longer need to pack a heavy console or a high-end laptop to enjoy AAA games. With cloud gaming, all you need is a small, portable device like a tablet or smartphone, and you can access a vast library of games while on the move. This not only lightens your luggage but also simplifies your setup—you can game on a train, in a hotel room, or at the airport with minimal effort.
2. Access to High-Quality Games Anywhere
Before cloud gaming, gaming while traveling meant either lugging around a portable console or compromising on quality with mobile games. Now, services like Blacknut can allow travels to jump graphically intense games like Assassin's Creed on the go, without sacrificing quality (*given your internet is stable, but 5G is just the ticket!

Since cloud gaming is device-agnostic on Blacknut, you can switch seamlessly between different devices. Start a game on your PC at home, and continue playing on your tablet or smartphone during your flight or in your hotel. Your progress is saved in the cloud, allowing you to pick up right where you left off, no matter the device you're using.
Our final thoughts?
For travelers who love gaming, cloud gaming is a revolutionary development. With a solid internet connection and a portable device, you can take your gaming experience to new heights, enjoying high-quality games from wherever you are in the world. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, cloud gaming ensures you don’t have to leave your gaming adventures behind.
All you need is a good connection, a comfortable seat, and you’re ready to dive into your favorite virtual worlds.
