NETS is examining alternative, more ubiquitous “on-ramps” to the emerging high-bandwidth backbone of the NII.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993, recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”As the distinction between channels, backplanes and networks continues to blur, the focal point is scalable interconnection technologies. For example, the same components used in massively parallel processor backplanes are now being used as the basis for very-high-speed network switches for local-area networks. In addition, NETS is examining alternative, more ubiquitous ‘on-ramps’ to the emerging high-bandwidth backbone of the NII [National Information Infrastructure].”
