The Olympic broadcasting services are responsible for providing Olympic content to all news agencies to expand virtual reality technology. Hence, Tokyo implemented true VR technology for the 2020 Olympics.
Public transit systems are taken care of by the integrated technological solutions of IoT, such as trains, buses, and trams to run on time. Minimal disruptions are expected as the embedded sensors-based IoT smart maintenance has been implemented.
The Tokyo Bureau of the environment has deployed unique energy-saving smart meters to measure the drop in carbon dioxide emissions during events.
How do cutting-edge IoT and 5G technology cater for Big Events?
Overwhelming smart stadiums
The largest telecom company of Japan, Nippon Telegraph, and the telephone group took responsibility for making the Olympic a big event excessively happening and safe. The best technology providers deployed 5G connectivity which enabled regular connectivity and support throughout the event by providing IoT wearables for athletes to have video conferencing facilities to be in touch with their family and friends.

Apart from the above four robots, other robots deliver food and the athletes, disabled attendees, and spectators.
Final Thoughts
IoT jobs of citizens have been backed by the National Institute of information and communications technology to find out the root cause of weaknesses in security features. To avoid cybersecurity threats among IoT devices has activated the ministry of internal affairs and communications cybersecurity to mitigate risks during the event.
For resolving the cybercrime issues, various tests have been done by keeping in mind the usage of IoT devices being implemented for the event.
