Project Oxygen is a research project to develop pervasive, human - centred computing. The Oxygen architecture is to consist of handheld terminals; computers embedded in the environment, and dynamically configured networks which connect these devices. The concept behind this is to bring abundant computation and communication, as pervasive and free as air, naturally into people's lives.
As the Internet has exploded over the last few years it has been facing a massive shortage of bandwidth. Project Oxygen is a massive project that plans to make gigabits of bandwidth available to Net users.
The planned capacity is 2,560 Gbits/s. This will be available in 75 countries via 96 landing points. The project proposes to provide these services by laying thousands of miles of undersea cables.
