The 5G-connected helmet's potential extends far beyond football, with inquiries pouring in about its application in improving safety on construction sites, aiding first responders, and creating job opportunities for the deaf community. Gallaudet, known for pioneering innovations in equality for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community, continues to lead the way in advancing accessibility.
