The project involved teams from France, Hungary, Croatia, and Austria.

“I am proud of the solutions that we have been able to implement with Atos to deliver exceptional video feeds to all sailing fans. Working in a broadcast environment and within the constraints of the Covid 19 pandemic, the professionalism and resourcefulness of the Atos team enabled us to deliver outstanding pictures from sailing competitions. Innovation is very important to us, and this project is a perfect example of the flexibility and inventiveness we look for when working with our partners.” said Simon Fell, Unit Manager and RF Project Manager, Timeline Television.
