AT&T going for Gold at the Olympics

With the conclusion of America’s nationally celebrated sporting event of the Super Bowl, the international stage is now set for athletes to capture gold at the Olympics. Americans will take pride in being the best at ice-skating, bobsledding, and skiing. Meanwhile, AT&T will take pride in providing the best network solutions for broadcasts of the 2014 Winter Olympics taking place in Sochi, Russia. Ways of keeping up with the Olympics have been transformed by AT&T. Fans now have the ability to obtain real-time updates in different Olympic categories as well as receive live streaming of events on your computer, cell phone, or tablet. As is evident from how quickly technology has been progressing, the bandwidth requirements for distributing Olympic coverage has increased 5 Gbit/s since the Summer Olympic Games in London almost two years ago. This is one-third more than the 15 Gbit/s of capacity for video delivery through the use of 333 DS3 circuits used in 2012. This time around, the coverage has been boosted to 20 Gbit/s, or about 444 DS3 circuits. “AT&T supports the networking services we need to ensure our viewers will have the best experience possible, no matter their screen preference.” said Robert Kiraly, director of Broadcast and Telecommunications Operations at NBC Olympics. In addition, AT&T will supply custom engineering and management services to NBC, along with backup services in the event of a circuit malfunction. AT&T developers have even created a series of apps to simply follow athletes on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to learn more about the athletes. Viewers will not be the only ones benefitting as athletes can use AT&T developed apps to assist in traveling or communicating with coaches and family.
