Samsung and the Olympics

Samsung Electronics began its involvement with the Olympic Games as a local sponsor of the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games. Beginning with the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games, the company extended its commitment to the Olympic Movement as the Worldwide Olympic Partner in the Wireless Communications Equipment category. It therefore provided its proprietary wireless communications platform, called Wireless Olympic Works (WOW), and mobile devices.  Rio-Logo
