The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a unique radio telescope being planned by an international consortium. Covering frequencies of 0.15-20 GHz, it will make a revolutionary break with today's radio telescopes. It will:

• have a collecting area of one square kilometre, giving it 100 times the sensitivity of today's best radio telescopes;
• be the first aperture synthesis telescope with multiple independent fields of view (up to 100 at one time); and
• integrate computing hardware and software on a massive scale, in a way that best captures the benefits of these exponentially developing technologies.
