Devices Direction Enhanced Devices Smarter Devices Simple Devices Third Wave Second Wave First Wave Devices operates independently but use PC for scenarios Devices have multiple transports and hence multiple personalities Device operated primarily by PC Wired connectivity prevalent (RS232, USB, 1394, parallel port, etc) IP connectivity Mobile device maintain ubiquitous connectivity Experience on Windows is consistent across transports Device Evolution
Wireless Scenarios Connectivity for Mobile User Digital Content Proliferation Multi-transport and Multi-function Devices Device Evolutionary Trends Connectivity and Mobility
Convergence Model Unification of IP and directly connected devices Users shouldn’t have to care about the bus IP Network Directly Connected
Challenges For IP Connected Devices Effortless Device setup is unintuitive today Multiple points of failure on networks are hard to diagnose Secure Configuring devices for secure networks is difficult Security for devices is paramount Reliable Connectivity across wired and wireless transports QOS for bandwidth constrained networks Seamless access to data where ever you are

Challenges For Direct Connected Devices Effortlessness Device setup and association is unintuitive today Multi-transport devices don’t provide equivalent behavior across buses Security Association is unintuitive. Forced to use null pins Device control in IT environment is complex Reliability Simple driver install and software maintenance Drivers are hard to develop and maintain Ability to safely store / recover data decades later
