VIRVE secures an undisturbed communications flow for public events. Event site authorities as well as the security organisations of events need fast connections. VIRVE secured the communications of such recent visible events as the 10th IAAF World Championships in Athletics Helsinki 2005 and Neste Rally Finland.
Neste Rally Finland is the largest public event in the Nordic countries, with an extensive event site. Fast and dependable communications systems have contributed to Neste Rally having been elected the world's best four times. During the rally world championships the VIRVE telephone plays a significant role in the work of the event organisers as well as the authorities.

- We have received thanks for the use of the VIRVE network from all over the world, and it has created interest among other rally organisers, and even teleoperators. VIRVE has been a contributing factor in Neste Rally having been elected as the world's best rally event already for the fourth time, says the heart and soul of Neste Rally Finland, the CEO of AKK Sports Ltd, Jarmo Mahonen.
The fact that 4,500 people, and at its best 6,500, have participated in organising the event attest to its magnitude. Communication must flow undisturbed and fast, because situations change rapidly. Furthermore, when dealing with issues of security, the connections must also be well secured.
