  Employees
• ROI per user of roughly 6,000 / year
• Laptop users work 3-8 hours more per week
• New Policy of Wiring new buildings
• 12,000 wireless Intel employees worldwide
• 4,000 wireless LAN access points over 45 of
  Intel buildings
• First Fab11X totally equipped for wireless
• Efficiencies of Wireless LAN enabling 16 min/day
  more work (i.e. 4 days/year)
• Next Up Mobilized Software
• Improving Latency and Bandwidth Optimization
• Enhancing Employee Productivity

Mobilized Applications
Developing Mobile Software

• Applications that more closely support the way
  people normally work and interact
• Mobilized Information Technology has greatly
  enhanced and extended the reach and richness of
  human interaction
• HOWEVER, its current implementation often
  determines where, when and how the interaction
  may occur
• Mobilized Applications expands the use of IT by
  removing the many barriers, and provide new and
  more natural ways of interaction
• Constrained by the Mobile Environment
• Challenged by the User Experience

10
Mobilized Solution Imperatives
Developing Mobile Software
"Applications that keep working productively,
even in environments with intermittent
connectivity and power"
11
Capabilities Architecture
Developing Mobile Software
Context Management Aspects of the system that
change due to external events, eg. location,
connectivity, etc.
Resource Management Consumable items available in
finite amounts, eg. power, storage, bandwidth,
etc.
Durable Storage Persistent structured and
unstructured data management Reliable
Messaging Asynchronous queuing that provide
various messaging semantics
Emulation
Pre-fetch
Reintegration
Security Ensures the data, systems, and their
interactions with the environment (and vice
versa), are authorized, private, and controlled
Durable Storage
View Consistency Maintaining a consistent/reconcil
able view of the data and state shared among
systems, eg. emulation, pre-fetch, and
reintegration
Policy Rules-based capability (ECA) to define
policies that determine the systems responses to
the environment
Encoding Transformation of information into
alternative formats, eg. compression,
transcoding, etc.
Reliable Messaging
12
Intel / iAnywhere Engineering Joint Effort
Developing Mobile Software

• Device Tracking (SQL Anywhere Studio 9.0.1)
• The ability to address a remote database by
  supplying only its MobiLink user name.
• Restartable Download (SQL Anywhere Studio 9.0.1)
• Helps you recover from download failure, and may
  help you avoid having to retransmit the entire
  download.
• Support for Laptop/Tablet PC (M-Business Anywhere
  5.5)
• Provide an M-Business Client for Tablets, which
  provides equivalent functionality as current
  PocketPC client.

Future Plans

• Power (SQL Anywhere)
• Focus on adding more connectivity features and on
  reducing power consumption (SQL Anywhere).
• Client Auto-Update (M-Business Anywhere)
• The ability for the M-Business Server to deploy
  new versions of the M-Business Client and
  M-Business Connect to allow devices to be updated
  in the field without requiring end-user action.

Other names and brands may be claimed as the
property of others Wireless connectivity and
some features may require you to purchase
additional software, services or external
hardware. Availability of public wireless LAN
access points limited. System performance
measured by MobileMark 2002. System performance,
battery life, wireless performance and
functionality will vary depending on your
specific hardware and software configurations.

Conclusion

• Mobilized Applications match how people normally
  interact
• Being connected all the time is neither feasible
  nor necessarily valuable
• Mobilized SW is better for all platforms.
• The Right time/Right place is more important
• Current trends will accelerate the use of mobile
  devices
• Mobilized Software will provide competitive edge.
• A perfect, always-connected device with infinite
  bandwidth, power and storage may never show up
