IKANO OLYMPIC PARTNERSHIP

IKANO Communications is proud to have served as the Official Data Networking Services Supplier for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.

IKANO provided all data-networking services and accompanying support for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. This high-performance Olympic data network was used to aggregate data and information from Olympic events and then distribute the information to Olympic staff, athletes, officials, the host broadcaster, and the Salt Lake Olympic Organizing Committee (SLOC) Web site at www.saltlake2002.com.

Information distributed over the network included event schedules and real-time results, athlete profiles, weather and performance data. IKANO built, configured, tested, managed and maintained a data network that supported all the integral technology functions of the Games. The network was available at all venues, many of which will staged events simultaneously.

SLOC entrusted IKANO with its critical data networking needs and chose IKANO because of its demonstrated expertise in delivering high-performance network infrastructure, built-in redundancy, and experienced staff.

Over 900 switches, 120 routers, 150 T1 lines, 11 T3 lines, 12 network management stations, firewalls, cache engines, a few load balancing servers and nearly two years of preparation and testing assured that the IKANO-supported Olympic data network delivered a gold medal performance in February 2002 during its 17 days of operation.

IKANO Communications launched an ad campaign publicizing its position as the Official Data Networking Services Supplier for the 2002 Olympic Winter games.

The ad features Kevin Smith, an IKANO engineer, on the ice, clad in a colorful sequined blouse, starry tights and ice skates. The ad appeared as a series, with Smith engaged in several skating maneuvers, all of which will lead to his eventual receipt of the "Gold Medal."
