Abstract
The Sydney Olympic Games was the largest peace time event ever. Telecommunications was critical to its operations and the delivery of the Games to 3.5 billion viewers around the world. The main challenges included the design and operation of the highest-density mobile network in the world at Sydney Olympic Park and the provisioning of the necessary international links from a remote country of just 19 million people for a 17-day event. This article describes the various networks used to make possible this highly successful event
