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 on July 27, 2012.

A technology road map for the Games, released Friday, details how Atos Origin, the London Olympics IT supplier, and its partners will prepare for 2012. They are 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 road map shown here, 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.

"The technology road map 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," Atos' Michele Hyron, chief integrator at London 2012, said in a statement.

According to Hyron, the infrastructure at the 2012 Games will allow Atos to "provide more news from the Games than ever before."
