The equipment will now be put to the test via a series of 42 sports events, known as Good Luck Beijing. The trials will commence on 8 August, which marks the one-year countdown to the 2008 Olympics.
'The upcoming tests are, in effect, a full rehearsal for the 2008 Games, ensuring the reliability of the hardware that forms the Games’ computing backbone,' said Yang Yichun, technology director for the event's organising committee.
