Exploring Googin's Six Equations of the Real Time Global Corporation, TinyOS, and Free Space Optics

From Wireless Fiber to an OS for Wireless Motes -- An Examination of a Growing Global Web of Interconnected Technology

The February issue of The COOK Report leads with an interview with Roxanne Googin examining the six technology enablers of the real time global corporation. We learn how changes in servers, client devices, software, storage, semiconductor manufacturing are combining with broadband to change the way business is done on a global scale and create a system that is drawing business process of all kinds off shore creating a globally interconnected web of activity and the jobless recovery in the US. We also examine the open source OS that powers wireless sensor networks and wireless backbones that can reach a gigabit or more in speed.
