8 Cables from arena Technical solutions BY JAN ERIK SVENSSON This article describes general aspects on master plans, security, project process and project tools, dismantling, logistics, instrumentation, quality securing, etc. Other articles will have more detailed information on the technical equipment and solutions related to this equipment. 1 Introduction As telecommunication is the most important element for a successful modern sports event, it was a big challenge to produce the right technical plan at the right time in a most cost-effective way. The pre-planning period started just a few weeks after Lillehammer had been awarded the XVII Winter Olympic To ORTO'S distribution network HK/KK NORWEGIAN TELECOM'S TECHNICAL ROOM Auxiliary cable speech/audio NRK ORTO 94 CCR Video jackfield Coax cable video Games, and some conclusions were reached quite soon, like: - Fibre and digital equipment to be used instead of micro-wave links - Well-known systems with no younger technology than 1992 to be used - Secure systems important - Very high capacity necessary - At least two transmission ways to/from every important venue were needed - Requirement analysis had to be done before detailed technical plans and construction could start. The basis for our requirement analysis was earlier plans from Calgary, Barcelona and especially Albertville, Auxiliary cable Coax cable for 2 Mb public exchange lines Cable-TV Sub-end NRK ORTO 94 LDR Cable-TV Distribution Mod/comb Local feed of cable-TV channels Figure 1 Outline of interface between Norwegian Telecom, LOOC and NRK ORTO ’94 at IBC Circuit module tie lines compared to special conditions in Lillehammer like topography, “Compact Games”, and the fact that the Winter Games would be of great interest in the Scandinavian countries. The plans also aimed at allowing maximum re-use of the equipment after the Winter Games. 2 Master plans During the planning period five master plans were published, based on corresponding requirement analyses. A number of smaller technical groups worked with details concerning plans for mobile systems, switching systems, data systems, transmission systems, traffic analysis and all types of terminals.

The plans described Norwegian Telecom’s construction of layouts and installations to be used during the Olympics. The Olympic region itself is limited geographically from Kvitfjell in the north to Hamar/Gjøvik in the south, a total distance of nearly 100 km, but our plans and installations covered in all nearly 70 technical rooms in the eastern and southern part of Norway. At first, we only made plans for the Olympic venues and for the transmission ways to/from them, but as we realised that the normal infrastructure would also have a lot of installations (nearly 3,000 subscribers), detailed plans were made in co-operation with Region East of Norwegian Telecom.

In the contracts with these partners, we therefore made some interface outlines. The interface outlines are shown in Figure 1 for IBC and Figure 2 for the other venues. We also stressed the importance of including in the contract with LOOC some main items concerning power consumption, area for technical/logistic/relaxation/office use, area for telecommunication services and area for Telecom cars and technical towers. Table 1 shows details of these items.

For Norwegian Telecom this responsibility included high-capacity construction of infrastructure for TV pictures and sound, lines for radio commentary, normal subscriber lines, Olympic Network lines, ISDN, secure systems, satellite communications, cable-TV, mobile and paging, telex and data communication, and all the maintenance systems. It also included installation of the equipment for using the infrastructure, including space in ordinary sites for Norwegian Telecom for radio base equipment for TBK, LOOC, the police, NRK ORTO ’94, etc. Circuit module tie lines HK/KK Circuit module/public exchange lines PABX To LOOC's distribution network Subscriber module Coax cable for local feed LOOC'S TECHNICAL ROOM Norwegian Telecom's responsibility Figure 2 Outline of interface between Norwegian Telecom, LOOC and NRK ORTO ’94 at an Olympic arena 9
