Olympic Fans Experience the Thrill of the Sailing Competition With Galaxy S24 Ultra

Samsung Electronics allowed fans to immerse themselves into the Olympic Games Paris 2024 sailing competition held in the French port city of Marseille. Through the Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones installed on each boat, fans experienced the race as if they were alongside their favorite athletes - battling the elements together in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

Samsung implemented optimized software and technology to support filming and transmitting this first-of-its-kind footage in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) and other Olympic partners.

Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphones were installed on the boats used in the sailing events. For kitesurfing and windsurfing, Galaxy smartphones were attached to each athlete's shoulder and buoys in the water. With this new viewing experience, sailing fans never missed a beat.

This presented a whole new set of challenges and months of research, development and testing - in close collaboration with the OBS and other Olympic tech partners - to guarantee video quality and connectivity performance across various bodies of water and weather conditions, which can be really windy with huge waves or extremely hot and sunny. Samsung and its partners addressed these challenges by leveraging the Galaxy S24 Ultra's Optical image stabilization (OIS) features, increasing transmission power and installing relay towers on chase boat to ensure a seamless livestream experience for viewers.

In line with the Olympics Games Paris 2024 vision of a "Games Wide Open," Samsung is dedicated to bringing a more immersive experience to fans around the world.
