Auburn, AL – The introduction of helmet communication technology and sideline tablets is set to revolutionize college football, and the Auburn Tigers are at the forefront of this technological advancement.

The new system, which was tested extensively over the weekend and again at Jordan-Hare Stadium, will allow coaches to communicate directly with players on the field via helmet radios, while simultaneously accessing real-time game footage on iPads.

Helmet Communication

• Limited to ten players: Five players on offense and five on defense will be equipped with helmet radios.
• One player at a time: Only one player can use the communication system at a time, indicated by a green sticker on their helmet.
• Coach-to-player communication: Coaches can communicate with players, but players cannot respond.
• Quarterback and linebacker focus: The quarterback is typically the primary communicator on offense, while a linebacker often takes the role on defense.
• Multiple coach access: Multiple coaches can use the communication system, but there’s a waiting system in place.
• 15-second cutoff: Communication is restricted to the first 15 seconds of the play clock.
• Equipment management: Teams are responsible for managing their own equipment on road games, except for the play-clock timer.
• Battery life: Helmets are equipped with batteries expected to last four to five hours.

Sideline Tablets

• iPad technology: Apple iPads with matte screens are used for optimal visibility.
• Real-time footage: Coaches receive tape from three angles: all-22, skycam, and broadcast.
• Quick play access: Play data is available to coaches almost immediately after the play ends.
• Play tagging: Coaches in the box can label plays for easy identification and review.
• Advanced wireless system: Auburn has implemented a robust wireless system to ensure reliable tablet performance.

The implementation of these new technologies comes in response to the increasing complexity of the game and the need for faster, more accurate communication. As the Auburn Tigers prepare for the upcoming season, they are eager to harness the potential of these tools to gain a competitive edge.
