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.
Throughout his journey, Papa Mau navigated along a prescribed route under autonomous control collecting and transmitting unprecedented amounts of high-resolution ocean data never before available over these vast distances or timeframes.
Instead, high-speed wireless access services can leapfrog the fiber lines directly to your computer and provide even higher rates of data transmission-- over the same CDMA network that's already in place to route cell phone traffic.
