Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games

Ensuring business connectivity and information flow

Industry: Sports
Region: Australia

The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) is the largest sporting event Australia has seen this decade, and the biggest sporting spectacular the Gold Coast has ever seen.

In April 2018, 6,600 athletes and team officials from 71 nations and territories, along with 15,000 volunteers, descended on the Gold Coast for an 11-day sporting and cultural event. 18 sports and 7 para-sports were contested and broadcast to a cumulative global audience of 1.5 billion. With Atos’ help, the Commonwealth Games ensured a robust, connected and cost-effective technology infrastructure.

The challenge

bluedash

As a major sporting and international event, the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games had to secure and organize the participation of 71 Commonwealth nations, in three Australian host cities: Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville. With each nation having their own requirements and conditions in terms of technology infrastructure and service platform, which change regularly, Atos had to provide flexible yet robust solutions to ensure the connectivity and the fluidity of the Games in a challenging and worldwide environment.
