KT [030200], the official sponsor of the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games, announced on the 17th that it has completed the construction of major communication infrastructure, including the competition communication network, broadcasting relay network, and mobile communication network, to provide stable communication services for this Games .About 150 network experts from KT conducted a final inspection on the 2,000 pieces of communication equipment built in stadiums, event venues, and athletes’ villages on the 15th, and plan to ensure the stability of the communication network through daily on-site inspections from the 19th, when the opening ceremony is held.
During the Games, the ‘Olympic Comprehensive Situation Room’ is operated, which consists of the Gwacheon Network Control Center and four site base communication centers (Gangneung, Pyeongchang, Hoengseong, and Jeongseon).The general situation room intensively monitors the communication network 24 hours a day and has an emergency recovery system that responds within 10 minutes if an emergency situation occurs.
Emergency recovery materials such as mobile base stations and mobile power generation vehicles will also be deployed In addition, considering that the athletes’ age group is teenagers who use a lot of data, KT prepares to use Wi-Fi on shuttle buses from the airport to the athletes’ village. By introducing tri-band technology, which improves traffic capacity by more than 50% compared to Wi-Fi 6, it can provide services to more than 1,500 users with a single Wi-Fi device (AP) while maintaining the data transmission speed of existing Wi-Fi.
Tri-band Wi-Fi equipment will be installed in about 100 locations, including the Olympic main stadium, athletes’ village, and media center. Taek-gyun Oh, managing director of KT’s network operation division, said, “We will make every effort to ensure that athletes and visitors from all over the world can enjoy Korea’s differentiated Wi-Fi service and have no inconvenience in using communication services. “Meanwhile, KT Group’s customer service specialist KTis [058860] also officially sponsored the Gangwon Winter Youth Olympics and decided to broadcast promotional videos more than 100 times a day through more than 50,000 town boards 온라인카지노 installed in major apartment complexes across the country.
