And we are succeeding in this. The achieved arrangements within this agreement will allow the OC to use the potential of the biggest communications provider and provide the Universiade venues with highly efficient information and telecommunication networks,” the Deputy Chairman of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Government emphasized.
Deputy Chairman Vladimir Kubarev noted that the Rostelecom Company, while being the general partner of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, gained all the competencies necessary for ensuring the telecommunication infrastructure at major international sports events. “We already invested funds in the development of the infrastructure in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. From this year, in particular, we start to develop communication lines for the 2019 Winter Universiade venues according to all requirements of the Organising Committee of the Games,” Vladimir Kubarev highlighted.
In the future, the established telecommunication infrastructure of the 2019 Winter Universiade will allow to broadcast sports events both at the regional and international level.
