National and global media and broadcasters will benefit from large data bundles, mobile hotspots, smartphones and other value added telecom services, enabling them to broadcast and report live at any time during the games. 

Says Cellhire UK Managing Director, Matt Bennett, “Our secure IoT and mobile data connectivity solutions will help to protect user privacy while mitigating risks to user data.

“Cellhire’s track record for tier one connectivity in the global sports and entertainment fields speak for itself. We have provided many tens of thousands of solutions for Olympic, Paralympic and Winter Olympic Games, FIFA World Cups, UEFA Euro Finals, Rugby World Cup Finals, Commonwealth Games and the Tour de France.”

Bennett adds, “This connectivity enables the world’s leading media to live-broadcast to their audiences without interruption.  That’s thanks not only to our technical capabilities but also to the close partnerships we have with numerous mobile network providers around the world.”

Cellhire will have a team on the ground at the games to provide technical support throughout the event, and help to ensure clients’ data and voice operations run smoothly with no interruption – through network switching if required.
