10. Innovation: WiMAX
! Provides wireless data over long distances
! Built from a clean sheet of paper: data is the starting point,
not a voice network trying to morph to fill data needs
! Considered the key to bridging the digital divide
! Greater capabilities, greater opportunities
10

11. Innovation: Telematics
Telematics: computing +
communications
Turning a Ford Five Hundred
sedan into a wireless
communications center
! Motivation: more traffic, more safely, over static infrastructure
! Requirements: massive scalability, reliability, security, privacy
! Result: convergence of safety, convenience, information,
entertainment (“Vehicle Infrastructure Integration”)
! Applications: micro traffic reports/routing; SMS fast food
ordering; local merchant instant discounting (e.g., oil change)
