The opening ceremony will take place on July 26 from 20:30 to 23:15 Moscow time
Samsung is set to play a significant role in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris by placing more than 200 Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones (review) on boats on the Seine River. The project was implemented jointly with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Olympic Broadcasting Service (OBS).
There is about a month left before the opening ceremony. As part of the ceremony, a parade of ships on the Seine is planned. As the company notes, Samsung will install Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones on 85 ships with Olympic athletes.
The river parade will be filmed and broadcast from smartphones. Each vessel will have devices at the bow and stern. The stability of the broadcast should be ensured by a private network consisting of more than a dozen 5G antennas installed by the Orange operator along the Seine.
