On January 12, the Capital Gymnasium, one of the 12 venues for the Beijing Winter Olympics, welcomed the first visit of 10 news organizations.
The 10 news organizations participating in the inspection include Xinhua News Agency, The Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse and many other large international mainstream news organizations. The main contents of the inspection include the media work area, traffic flow, data transmission and photography location facilities and services during the game, and the reporters present will do a good job of preliminary inspection and path exploration for the colleagues who arrive in the news organizations, and also prepare for the next step of installing remote control camera equipment.
At present, ice making work is underway inside the first stadium, and the Olympic landscape layout in the stadium has been basically completed and is still in the process of continuous optimization. Press conference halls, reporters' workshops, journalist stands and text reporter mixed mining areas have been set up, and the mixed mining areas of the right holders will be built according to the requirements of the Olympic broadcast service company and will be started in the near future.
During the event, each competition venue will provide a "media plus" service to journalists to meet the needs of large news organizations to quickly transfer data from the venue back to the main news center. The "Media +" service, relying on the wired and wireless networks in the venues, uses dedicated, high-bandwidth, and clearly classified network connections to connect all competition venues, opening and closing ceremony venues, and awards plazas with the offices rented by various institutions in the main news center and Zhangjiakou Mountain News Center.
As long as the photojournalist connects the camera to the high-speed network, he can transmit the photos taken on the spot in real time to buy time for the publication and release of the film. The Capital Stadium is ready for the arrival of the world's media, which is also the biggest change that 5G has brought to the global media for the first time to cover the Olympic venues, and it will make the 2022 Winter Olympics news battlefield more competitive.
