#5G is already being put to use ahead of the upcoming Olympic games in France! 🥇🥈🥉
French national public television broadcaster France Télévisions is using a private 5G network to transmit coverage of the Olympic torch relay in Paris at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It has been broadcasting over private 5G for 10 hours per day since May 9, covering the Olympic torch’s journey of 1,625 kilometres 🚐
💡 The broadcaster is using a private 5G product, called a "bubble" Dome which can be deployed in the trunk of a car, making it an inexpensive and flexible solution.

With over three decades of experience at the intersection of IT, broadcast, and media, I've dedicated my career to shaping the future of technology on a global scale.
The Paris Olympics Games 2024 starts today! With an estimated ten million people expected to descend upon Paris for the games, and billions more watching from their televisions worldwide, the day that so many media and broadcasting companies have been prepping for has arrived.
The spotlight will not only be on the athletes but also on the immense file transfer operations that will take place behind the scenes. The enormous amount of data generated will put even the most robust infrastructures to the test, but is something Fortra's FileCatalyst makes look as easy as a quick 400-meter sprint without breaking a sweat.
If you work in media, entertainment, or broadcasting and need to send large file sizes, in any format, at full line speed, anywhere securely, speak to our experts today - https://hubs.li/Q02J2ns40#Paris2024#OlympicGames#Media#Broadcasting#FileTransfer#FileCatalyst#Fortra#Sports
The light at the end of the tunnel, today we move into Day 15 of RTÉ’s Olympics coverage. As we approach the “finish line” I thought I would share a little bit more information about our media management operation for this event.
As you can imagine for events of this scale a huge amount of planning happens in advance to ensure it is as smooth as live production can be! It’s no different for the Media Management team – in advance of every cross RTÉ/cross platform event of this magnitude we always gauge the event requirements and then define and document the workflow, share it with all stakeholders and offer training for content teams/ users.
For Olympics 2024 we allocated over 100 TBs or approx. 5000 hours of #Avid#Nexis storage. This storage is mirrored with 2 disk protection across our Nexis infrastructure. For added resilience we split this across two diversely located Nexis workspaces. With 16 incoming feeds, studio records and other ingest requirements, we are using approx. 4-6 TBs of AVID storage (200-300 hours) per day via #InterplayCapture or automated file import via #LiveU Store and Forward, #Signiant MediaShuttle and #Telestream Vantage into AVID.
In the Avid production management system, access to all the content is managed through Nexis and Interplay Group membership permissions. For this event all system users were given access. We divided our Interplay database into daily folders (Day-2 to Day 16) with subfolders for each event. Each event recording was prefixed with its own naming convention making it easy for users to locate the content quickly in fast turnaround scenarios. Whereas in the past recordings may have duplicated across RTÉ, this time around the philosophy was “one recording accessed and shared by all” ensuring efficient use of resources and infrastructure.
For the first time we aligned all file delivery workflows from all News and Sport ENG and EFP crews with all files delivered adhering to an agreed naming convention. The benefit of this approach is that it is easier for the various users/platform teams to search and locate all Olympics content if it all landing in the same destination folder in our Interplay production system. While most of our content was editing using #MediaComposer, we heavily utilised #CloudUX for viewing, logging and confidence monitoring of all the various recordings in AVID. Cloud UX was also used to enable users across different platforms to access and distribute feeds as required. The benefit of Cloud UX is that users can access it anywhere and anytime and it is a simpler user interface to use for non-craft editors.
While the Olympics wraps up tomorrow, we will keep all media ingested online until after the end of the event. Then once everything is archived, we purge our Nexis storage and clear all media and metadata from the Interplay database and start to focus on our next big event...Paralympics 2024 which will hopefully be another successful event for Team Ireland.

The network Orange has built uses the "standalone" (SA) version of 5G, meaning there is not just a new radio network but also a successor to the 4G "core," the software- based control center of the entire system.
With network slicing, a much-publicized feature of 5G SA, operators can reserve part of a public network for private use, attaching performance guarantees to this virtual slice.
Another great example of how our partnerships are enabling businesses to drive transformative potential for their digital operations, especially for a marquee event like the Olympics, is Orange's groundbreaking use of 5G technology at the Paris Games.
The integration of Cisco's technology within Orange's private #5G#network sets a new standard for sports broadcasting, making the Paris Olympics a truly transformative event. https://lnkd.in/gUJEesXg
The Paris Olympics is just days away and connectivity is a key concern. How does one company connect the millions of visitors set to descend on Paris, and the billions watching at home?
To ensure the event goes off without a hitch, organizers turned to France’s biggest telco, naming Orange as the connectivity partner for the 2024 Games. They aim to deliver “the most connected competition in Olympic Games history”.
Utilizing a standalone 5G network, Orange provides dedicated infrastructure for TV broadcasts, prioritizing the uplink for ultra-high-definition content. Also, a dedicated team of 1,000 staff has prepared their robust network to support athletes, organizers, and fans.

Imagine getting to watch a high-profile football match, like on-going UEFA EURO 2024, broadcast live to your TV in exceptional image quality. That's exactly what Danish fans got to experience thanks to Ericsson's pioneering trial held in partnership, 3 Denmark, TV 2 Denmark and Sony.
Transmitted over 3's 5G SA network, Ericsson leveraged cutting-edge mmWave technology to enable exceptional speeds and reduced latency, so that fans could enjoy the international friendly match with superb picture quality and free from any interruptions. ⚽
By tapping into existing 5G networks, the need for extensive cabling and set-up is significantly reduced. This flexibility allows camera operators and photographers to be more mobile, capturing moments they may have previously missed. 📸
What I find most exciting is the opportunity to have many times more 5G cameras to capture the action from a large variety of camera angles and creating immersive, unforgettable experiences for the fans.
How do you think 5G cameras and reduced setup requirements will change your viewing experience?

With all eyes on Paris for the Olympic Games, Sisvel's Patrizia La Rosa takes us behind the scenes of France's flagship public broadcaster to explain how DVB technologies are enabling millions to watch all the action in 4K ultra-high definition.
Many innovators have played a role in developing and deploying these technologies, including TDF, which uses the DVB-T2 standard to transmit ultra-HD signals from the Eiffel Tower and many other sites, and ENENSYS Technologies, which has deployed a DVB-SIS solution that makes satellite broadcasting much more efficient.
This article is a great reminder that the vast improvements in live broadcast quality we all enjoy did not come about by chance – they are the product of relentless innovation and investment. The full article is free-to-read at the link below:
