Not only do wireless players have to concern themselves with the manner in which they send data through the air, they must also interface with all the terrestrial networks already in place that generally serve as the origin or destination of the wireless transmission. The success of transmission, switching, network interface, and end-user device providers will largely depend on their ability to make the proper design decisions.
Predictor: Marino, Craig
Prediction, in context:In a 1993 article he wrote for Red Herring, Craig Marino, at the time an associate at Broadview Associates, an information technology investment bank, says: ”Communications protocols will … have to be addressed. Not only do wireless players have to concern themselves with the manner in which they send data through the air, they must also interface with all the terrestrial networks already in place that generally serve as the origin or destination of the wireless transmission. The success of transmission, switching, network interface, and end-user device providers will largely depend on their ability to make the proper design decisions here.”
