Wireless Industry Explosion
The next revolution in the information-based economy is the development and deployment of new wireless products that communicate with the Internet-giving users updated, personally-selected information-and communicate with each other-creating constantly shifting personal area networks. We continue to upgrade and modify MicroOS so that the technologies we have developed will work in a wireless environment with standard and emerging communications protocols such as Bluetooth, WAP (Wireless Access Protocol), CDMA2000 (Code Division Multiple Access), TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), GSM (Global Standard for Mobile Communications), iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network), HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data), and the 3G ("Third Generation") wireless platform. International Data Corporation, a market research firm, estimates that nearly 62 million people will use wireless devices to access the Internet by 2003-an increase of about 728 percent over current levels
