While we’ve enjoyed the undoubted charms of downtown Palo Alto for many years, we’ve outgrown the type of space we had there – and we need more parking!

Since we arrived in Palo Alto, many things have happened: a small start up, just a couple of blocks away in office space over the shops in University Avenue, also grew and moved to Mountain View: Google. Previous startups in that same office space included Logitech and PayPal.

Google have supplied the entire city of Mountain View with free public WiFi, a model for future communications and media systems. On every corner, high-gain antennas sprout from the street lights, supplying free 802.11b/g connectivity to the Internet.

In the twelve years we’ve been in Palo Alto, the world has gone from dialup to broadband, from print advertising to the Web and Google, from the rare cellphone to ubiquitous smart phones with wireless Internet and the ever-present BlackBerry. Homes have broadband via telephone line or cable, usually hosting a local wireless hub, spreading the Internet to every corner of every home.

The shape of shopping has changed forever, with the giant on-line retailers such as Amazon and iTunes dominating their markets and eBay creating the world’s biggest consumer marketplace. The dot-com bubble burst, leaving this handful of giant survivors.

Now with us are 3G wireless systems offering true broadband to the pocket at 384Kb/s and more, with WiMAX just round the corner.

Meanwhile, IST continues to work to provide the innovative software infrastructure and tools to power these revolutionary systems, delivering knowledge to every user and advancing the march of our information age.
