The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which has attracted worldwide attention, has begun, and various events are in full swing. In addition to the heroic demeanor of the athletes on the field, the various “technological” elements used in the Beijing Winter Olympics have also attracted much attention.
The Olympic movement is inseparable from the development of modern science and technology. From the construction and renovation of Olympic venues and parks, to the training and competition of athletes, to the live broadcast and dissemination of events, technology is everywhere. The integration of AI, 5G, cloud, clean energy and other technologies in many fields has made this Winter Olympics very “technical”, with various advanced technologies being tested and applied in different scenarios.
Black technology in the Beijing Winter Olympics
In terms of venue construction, the newly built National Speed Skating Stadium “Ice Ribbon” adopts the world’s largest single-layer two-way orthogonal saddle-shaped cable net roof. The amount of steel is only 1/4 of the traditional roof. It is also equipped with wireless sensors. Beautiful appearance and safer;
In terms of transportation, the world’s first Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed train with autonomous driving function at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour has shortened the distance between us and the Winter Olympics. Full electronic tickets, intelligent “robots”, closed garbage conveying systems, and visual remote ticketing There are countless “black technologies” for high-speed rail such as airplanes;
In terms of daily training, the wind tunnel laboratory of the Erqi Factory National Ice and Snow Sports Training Research Base can help athletes constantly find the training posture with the least resistance and greatly improve training efficiency;
In terms of logistics support, accurate weather forecasting systems, early identification and automatic early warning systems for geotechnical structure disasters at Winter Olympics venues (grounds), integrated mobile advanced emergency life support machines, wearable vital sign monitoring equipment, multi-functional analysis equipment A series of safeguard measures such as segmented shovel stretchers allow athletes to express their enthusiasm on the field and solve their worries.
5G empowers smart Winter Olympics
Compared with previous Olympic Games, the Beijing Winter Olympics has achieved large-scale commercial use of 5G for the first time, which not only meets the needs of ordinary audiences and staff, but more importantly, meets the needs of industry applications.
While ensuring that communication services for the Winter Olympics are foolproof, 5G cloud broadcasting, ultra-high-definition live broadcast, 5G smart game viewing, smart command and dispatch, “5G Beidou” smart car networking, smart medical and other applications have been launched based on 5G and other technologies, providing Contribute the power of communication technology to create a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Winter Olympics event.
5G makes broadcasting easier. At present, 5G signals have covered the competition venues, supporting facilities of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and transportation trunk lines such as the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway and the Beijing-Lijiang Expressway. Based on the ultra-high-definition cloud broadcast based on 5G and cloud network synergy, Winter Olympics “fans” around the world can enjoy the exciting events no matter where they are.
5G makes post-match interviews more exciting. In the post-match interview session of the Winter Olympics, unmanned hybrid interview technology uses 5G networks and remote control camera systems to allow reporters and athletes in different areas to achieve ultra-low latency cross-space “face-to-face” conversations, which can be carried out in a manner that meets the requirements. In addition to epidemic prevention and control requirements, high-quality audio and video interview materials are provided.
5G makes watching games more enjoyable. The private media network built on the characteristics of 5G network such as low latency and large bandwidth can present millisecond-level low-latency multi-view switching, 360-degree free viewing angles of 4K image quality, and “bullet” based on the three-layer “cloud-pipe-device” architecture. Time” wonderful replays, 8K VR ultra-high-definition live broadcast and other innovative game viewing applications. The delay between the live scene and the smart viewing APP is only 0.3 seconds, and 5G brings a wonderful viewing experience to the audience.
RTU protects 5G base stations
During the construction of 5G base stations for the Winter Olympics, a customer in Beijing used Zongheng Intelligent Control RTU Gateway to implement the functions of the 5G base station dynamic environment monitoring system . Due to the large number of base stations on site, the daily maintenance workload of the base stations is relatively large. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a unified monitoring work platform to realize information supervision of base stations and ensure the stable operation of base stations.
The 5G base station dynamic environment monitoring system can collect the on-site temperature and humidity range and equipment operating status through RTU ‘s RS485, switch input/output and other interfaces. Through the monitoring of various environmental quantities, it can realize linkage control with other equipment to ensure the working environment. In a healthy state, it provides a strong guarantee for the stable operation of the base station.
According to relevant data, as of 2021, my country has built and opened a total of 1.425 million 5G base stations, building the world’s largest 5G network, covering all prefecture-level cities, more than 98% of county cities, and 80% of towns and villages.
Technology empowers, ice and snow chase dreams. As the world’s largest comprehensive winter sports event, the hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics reflects a country’s comprehensive strength. This Winter Olympics will fully demonstrate the wisdom of science and technology, allowing people to better understand the Olympic perspective and feel the Olympic spirit more truly through technology. This winter feast worth looking forward to may become a landmark event in the history of the Olympic Games that integrates technology and sports.
