— to provide communications to
the participants, VIPs, tourists, and
spectators at all Olympic sites;
— to ensure that the communication
equipment and installations
would be made the most of by the
national economy after the Games.
Now that the Games of the XXII
Olympiad are over, we can say definitely
that the concept of separate
services to customers has been a
complete success.
The provision of communications
for the Games of the XXII Olympiad
covered the following areas:
— broadcasting;
— telegraphy;
— international and intercity telephone
service;
— city and intercommunication
telephone service;
— the OCOG's assigned telephone
service;
— radio communications;
167
— sound amplification, public address,
and simultaneous interpretation;
— alarm and electric clock
systems;
— post (described in Chapter XIV
"Services and Tourism").
A far-flung network of international
and intercity trunk and satellite lines
provided for broadcastings, telephone,
telegraph, and facsimile communications,
and data links in the dataprocessing
system.
The sound-amplification public address,
alarm, and electric clock systems
were created anew at the
facilities being built or modernised,
using standardised equipment to accommodate
the need for their centralised
maintenance.
Common unified integrated networks
were used to transmit information
both at the venues and outside
them.
