Technology at the Games

An event the size of the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games requires a lot of planning by many different departments and one of the complicated and wide reaching areas is technology.

Manchester 2002’s Technology Division provides all the required information technology and telecommunications to support the Games including a large range of integrated IT applications, data and voice network services and audio-visual and scoreboard technology.

The Technology Division also have responsibility for the provision of communications services and results graphics feed to the host broadcasters, although no direct responsibility for the provision of broadcasting itself, which is provided by COMBO (the Commonwealth Games Broadcasting Organisation set up by the BBC for this event).
