The Olympic Flame is due to arrive in France this evening as it begins its journey to the Stade de France for the Opening Ceremony of the Summer Olympics. The torch will travel 12,000 kilometres across France.
The official host broadcaster of the games France Télévisions says it will broadcast the Olympic Torch Relay via a cloud-based and 5G network. It will also use Starlink connectivity for the broadcast.
The broadcaster will deploy two convoys with eight cameras to follow the Flame’s journey and will provide up to ten hours of live coverage every day.
