The Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024 are not only a showcase of athletic excellence but also a testament to the behind-the-scenes efforts of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to ensure the smooth operation of the Games. Samsung Electronics, as a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner for wireless communications and computing equipment, has played a crucial role in supporting these efforts by providing nearly 15,000 Galaxy devices to help deliver the Olympic spirit.
Behind the packed stadiums and world-class competitions, a dedicated task force of staff and volunteers utilizes a wide range of Galaxy devices to support various operations across the IOC, OCOG, OBS, and International Federations. With over 7,100 Galaxy smartphones, 2,500 Galaxy Tab series tablets, and 5,200 Galaxy Book series laptops, these devices are instrumental in managing ticketing systems, stadium entry, event broadcasts, and other essential tasks throughout the Games.
Bruno Marie-Rose, Director of Technology and Information Systems at the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024, emphasizes the importance of technology in ensuring the efficient and effective delivery of the Games-time experience. The homogenous system of Galaxy devices enables teams to handle visitor inquiries and operational requests with precision, contributing to the overall success of the event.
