The company overseeing the tech for the London 2012 Olympic Games has revealed how it's warming up in preparation for the starter's gun.
A technology roadmap for the Games, released today, details how Atos Origin, the London Olympics IT supplier, and its partners will prepare for 2012, building a network capable of streaming 6GB of sporting results every second to the watching world--the equivalent of the entire contents of Wikipedia every five seconds.
According to the roadmap for the second half of this year, pictured above, Atos Origin will have completed work on the designing and testing of the Games' complex mesh of technology infrastructure and systems by the end of December.
Atos' Michèle Hyron, chief integrator at London 2012, said in a statement: "The technology roadmap for each Games is divided into four phases and we are now close to completing phase one--design of the technology infrastructure and systems that will relay the results to the world in a fraction of a second."
According to Hyron, the infrastructure at the 2012 Games will allow Atos to "provide more news from the Games than ever before".
