Title: Olympics Sport High-Tech Backbone

Salt Lake City, Utah - A consortium of leading high-tech companies has put up Olympic-sized electronic infrastructure numbers to support this month's 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.

Powerhouses such as SchlumbergerSema, Sun Microsystems, Gateway, Seiko, Lucent, Qwest, AT&T, Panasonic, and Xerox are supporting the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Salt Lake Organizing Committee (SLOC). The collective infrastructure technology, by the numbers, is as follows:

32,000 fiber miles of optical fiber cable
20,000 tasks in the SLOC information technology (IT) project plans
14,200 desktop phones
10,000 cellular and personal communications services (PCS) phones
7,000 two-way radios
4,500 workstations and laptop computers
1,850 fax machines and copiers
1,150 printers
550 servers
50 major application systems
20 million pages of printed reports expected
10 million unique Web site visitors expected
2 games data centers
1 Salt Lake 2002 information technology team

Virtually all operational and results systems were tested at an integration lab and at their venues.

While many high-tech providers are global giants, some are new to the Olympics. Nevertheless, many of SLOC's most critical games applications needed to be designed and built from scratch-a daunting task, given the complexities of new software projects and an absolute deadline.
