Third-generation wireless (the first two were analog and the current version of digital) can move data at 384 kilobits a second, six times the speedof a good computer modem.
All you have to know is that Watson is not connected to the Internet, contains more than ten trillion bytes ofdata and operates the equivalent of 2, 800 computer nodes on an ultra-high-speed network.
Tim Critchley, one of the founders of Pogo Technology, said this system meant data flies around at the equivalent of 50kbps - almost the same speed as the fastest computer modems.
