Floyd founded Efficient in 1993 with the idea of using asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), an industrial-strength packet technology, to route data around local area networks.
The company's press release says the 3G network is the first widely available service in the world to use High Speed Downlink Packet Access technology.
He also like Acme Packet in technology.

Acme Packet specializes in technology known as session border controllers.
It is a packet-switched technology, and only consumes network resources when data is being transmitted, so it is widely expected that customers will be charged for the amount of data they exchange, rather than the time they spend logged on to the network.
The answer has little to do with what Acme Packet is than what the technology titans expect worldwide carrier networks to become.
The intended legislation requires "communications service providers" (ISPs and email providers) to install "Deep Packet Inspection" (DPI) technology hardware which would give GCHQ the ability, without a warrant, to monitor and intercept the times, dates, frequency and addresses (but not the actual content) of our online calls, emails and instant-messaging communications.

And since the modules from Intel and Nokia will not hit the market until the latter part of 2007, many believe that by then, the market will already be moving to even higher-speed networks such as WiMax and another technology known as High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA).
He said Dell's customers are telling the company they prefer the idea of mobile Internet access via wireless notebook computers, using technology such as the Bluetooth and 802.11 standards as well as emerging wireless telecommunications technology such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), wideband CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System).
Now EDGE's successor, a 3G-wireless technology called HSDPA (High-Speed Download Packet Access), provides transmission rates of 400 to 700 kilobits per second.
Rather, the collective ingenuity of people such as Andy Bechtolsheim (co-founder of Sun Microsystems and subsequently Granite Systems) and Judy Estrin (a serial entrepreneur in the packet-switching business) was crucial to drive the technology through the standards bodies.
But what starts out as government or military technology often ends up in commercial applications, as packet-switched networks and the global-positioning system demonstrate.
After all, if everything we know is stored online, and we all carry around smart phones to instantly aid with factual queries, and our brains are actually adjusting to these changes, then it appears that technology and biology have at last converged into one seamless, packet-fueled stream.
