Abstract :
The Olympic Games pose a big challenge for all telecommunications services, including voice communications, live video transmission, data transmission, and cellular phone services. Even though it is only a 16-day program, the Olympics require a large-capacity network and special grade quality and reliability over a wide geographical area (including ski resorts in the mountains). This article presents an overview of the telecommunications systems used in the Nagano 1998 Winter Olympic Games and reviews their performance
