Last summer, Paris vibrated to the rhythm of the Olympic and Paralympic Games 🏅, an event of unprecedented scale for France. With a spectacular opening ceremony on the Seine and competitions stretching from the capital to Tahiti, these Games will go down in history. But behind the festivities and sporting feats lies a colossal organization mobilizing thousands of experts and complex projects, particularly in the telecoms field. 📡
The success of the 2024 Olympic Games depends on innovative technological solutions and meticulous preparations. In the months leading up to the event, the challenges seemed immense: meeting the expectations of millions of spectators, guaranteeing secure communications and ensuring impeccable international media coverage. Despite initial concerns, the event was a complete success, the fruit of an exceptional collective effort.

Organizing the Games meant taking on multiple challenges in a demanding context:
- Welcome and connect millions of visitors from all over the world.
- Ensure reliable and secure communications, including for safety and rescue teams.
- Enable the media to convey the excitement of the events through advanced technology.
- Provide an immersive experience for the public, with interactive applications and robust information systems.
- Manage multiple sites and simultaneous events, all with near-perfect performance requirements. 🌟
