In recent months, we’ve seen the Olympic Games, the Euros and Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour take to the stage at some of the largest venues around the world. These events attract thousands, sometimes millions, of attendees, all eager to share their experiences in real-time through social media, messaging apps, and live streams. Over 9.5 million tickets were sold for the Olympics this year with spectators flying into Paris from all over the world, according to The International Olympic Committee. For cellular networks, this volume of new users in a small area can potentially lead to poor user experiences, dropped connections and slow internet speeds if providers are not prepared. 

Enterprises and visitors to the Olympic Games will see Bouygues Telecom delivering the fastest maximum download (661.6 Mbps) and upload speeds (161.62 Mbps) in central Paris based on real-world testing.

During International Telecoms Week in May, the company drive tested local networks then compared them to its AI algorithm’s predictions. The results were highly accurate predictive analytics that enable enterprise wireless use cases to rapidly scale across metro areas.
