Constant Evolution

Networking technology has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past few decades, evolving from the slow, cumbersome connections of the past to the ultra-fast, high-capacity systems we rely on today. This journey has been marked by numerous milestones, each one building upon the last to create the fast, reliable, and interconnected world we now experience. We are fortunate to have subject matter experts on our team that have been involved in these technology transitions since the days of dial-up. Understanding the building blocks for this technologies is critical when it comes to discovering how these technologies work. Our team has been working in this space for decades.

 

Below are examples of our networking experience. 

​

1. Dial-Up Modems

  • Hardware and software including protocols.

​

2. Broadband and the Rise of High-Speed Internet

  • DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): Hardware and software including protocols.

  • Cable Internet: Hardware and software including protocols.

  • Fiber-Optic Technology: Networking boxes, SFP modules, and software including protocols.

​

3. Wireless Networks: Wi-Fi and Mobile Data

  • Wi-Fi Evolution: Starting with the 802.11b standard in the late 1990s, Wi-Fi has rapidly evolved through various iterations (802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, and the latest, Wi-Fi 6). Our subject matter expert team includes standards experts, several of which sat on steering committees.

  • 4G LTE: The true breakthrough in mobile data came with 4G LTE (Long-Term Evolution), offering download speeds of up to 100 Mbps. This allowed for smooth video streaming, high-speed browsing, and a surge in mobile apps and services.Our subject matter expert team includes standards experts, several of which sat on steering committees. We have performed work in both the hardware and software side of these technologies.

​

4. The Advent of Cloud Computing

  • Cloud Storage

  • Cloud-Based Applications: From email to productivity software (e.g., Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365).

​

5. 5G Networks and Beyond

  • 5G Technology: Hardware and software including protocols.Our subject matter expert team includes standards experts, several of which sat on steering committees.

​

6. Future Trends in Networking Technology

The evolution of networking technology is far from over. As we look toward the future, several emerging trends promise to further reshape the way we connect to the internet.

  • Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7: The latest Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 6, offers faster speeds, greater capacity, and improved performance in crowded environments. Wi-Fi 7, still in development, promises even faster speeds and better handling of latency-sensitive applications like VR and gaming. We will be ready as these new technologies roll out. Having team members that were on the steering committee gives us great insight into where these new technologies are heading.

  • Edge Computing: With the explosion of data generated by IoT devices, edge computing is gaining traction. Rather than sending all data to centralized cloud servers, edge computing processes data closer to the source (at the “edge” of the network), reducing latency and improving performance. Our team has extensive experience working in this technology domain. Our lab is setup to support our team in these burgeoning areas.
