  6. 1981 1991 2001 4 MHz 8088 25 MHz 80486 2,000 MHz Pentium 4 0.1 MB floppies 30 MB hard drive 100,000 MB hard drive 0.3 Kbps modem 9.6 Kbps modem 300 Kbps share of T1 line* Bandwidth lags other technology improvements CAGR 50% 62% 27% Computing Storage Bandwidth * Though most PCs and servers ship with 100 Mbps networking interfaces, actual Internet throughput remains limited by corporate Internet connections

  7. Moore’s Law Bandwidth continues to lag processing and storage technologies

  8. Today’s “last-mile” bottlenecks

  9. X Internet Moore’s Law Client/server The Web Mainframes and Green screens X Internet moves beyond bandwidth’s limits

  10. What is the X Internet?

  11. The X Internet refers to two “Xs” An executable Internet that supplants today’s Web An extended Internet that connects to the real world

  18. WhereNet devices simplify supply logistics Temp: 52° F Fuel: 1/2 tank Door: Closed • Tag is integrated with door, fuel, and temperature sensors • Sensor data is transmitted every few minutes

  19. WhereNet devices simplify supply logistics Yard inventory is conveyed to users through maps and reports Colors indicate trailer status and alert conditions
