Blue Sky Network and NAL Research Ensured Seamless Connectivity for French Railway Network During Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics

Approximately four million people used the French railway daily during the Paris 2024 Olympics¹, according to SNCF Group, the French company managing the national railway network. Throughout this event and the Paris 2024 Paralympics, our leading satellite connectivity solutions were critical in enabling personnel to communicate quickly and reliably, especially during emergencies.

SNCF Group is committed to public service, safety, and innovation, values that were central to its preparations for the 2024 Olympics. Our recent merger with NAL Research offered SNCF Group a comprehensive suite of advanced hardware and cloud-based products to equip its operations with the highest standards of security and dependability for any scenario.

“The safety and efficiency of our railway network are always top priority, especially during events of this magnitude,” said Yann Le Tilly, Head of Telecom Infrastructure at Telecom Directorate for SNCF Group. “The technology provided by Blue Sky Network and NAL Research allowed us to maintain efficient operations over the last few months, as well as proactive response times and clear, two-way communications to mitigate emergency situations.”

“We are honored that SNCF Group entrusted us to support their operations during the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics. Our resilient connectivity solutions are designed to perform in the most challenging environments, and we were proud to see them make a difference in emergency situations,” said Robert Bills, President of NAL Research. “The success of this deployment highlights the importance of advanced satellite technology in upholding public safety and operational resilience.”
