Located between the Porta Romana district and Fondazione Prada, the new Milan Olympic Village has been designed to provide comfort, security, and efficient services for the athletes participating in the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In an international context such as the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, security management plays a strategic role. Reliable systems and advanced technologies help ensure the protection of the infrastructures hosting athletes, staff, and organizers during the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics.
To support communications and security management within the complex, Comelit contributed to the project by installing advanced IP video intercom solutions and emergency communication systems.
The project was carried out by the company Famiglia Milani, responsible for installing the system with the technical support of Comelit technical sales specialist Davide Galbusera.

IP Video Intercom for Efficient Communication and Emergency Management
Within the Olympic Village, the Comelit IP video intercom system was adopted — a technology particularly suited to large infrastructures thanks to its flexible network architecture and the ability to connect numerous devices without distance limitations.
The installed system includes: 18 Quadra external entrance panels, Mini series video intercom monitors, 4 IP porter switchboards and 43 Emergency call stations distributed throughout the facility
Thanks to the advantages of IP technology, the system ensures high scalability, operational reliability, and centralized communication management.
The system architecture was designed to guarantee service continuity and enable security staff to monitor and manage communications from the various buildings of the Olympic Village quickly and efficiently.
These features are essential for communication management and security in complex infrastructures such as the Olympic Village for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
Emergency Communication in Refuge Areas
A key part of the project involves refuge areas, spaces designed to temporarily accommodate people during an emergency or building evacuation.
In these areas, 43 Emergency series call stations have been installed. These devices enable immediate communication with IP porter switchboards or with security personnel smartphones through the Comelit App.
This solution allows users to quickly request assistance, ensuring direct and immediate communication with security staff and supporting efficient management of emergency situations within the building.
The system is simple to use for occupants while remaining highly effective for those responsible for building security management, in compliance with the standards required for infrastructures designed to host major international events.
Project Designed for the Future of the City
The Olympic Village was not designed exclusively to host athletes during the Games. After the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the residences will be converted into a modern university student housing complex, contributing to the urban regeneration of the Porta Romana area.
This transformation represents a concrete example of urban legacy, where infrastructures created for a major international event become an integral part of the city’s long-term development.
For this reason, the security infrastructure based on Comelit IP technology was designed from the start to be scalable and ready to evolve alongside the building and its future needs.
