Description
Who are Draftlight anyway?
Draftlight™ Networks began in 1989 as a collaboration between a group of university researchers in the UK and US, when the 'Internet' was listable on a lineprinter. We saw the potential and set up home, with the intention to tame this beast before it tamed us. We believe that virtual life is important - and as the years roll by, it's starting to look more important than reality. When we started, computers ran programs, did math and sent emails. Few would have understood that a generation of society would grow up seeing computers as core to their social lives, relationships, leisure and work. Everything imaginable is happening online, from commerce and politics to love, life, crime and punishment. You may like it, you may not, but it cannot be stopped. Virtuality is ephemeral; software spread on billions of machines and affecting the lives of everyone. It will never stop moving, it will never leave us alone. At Draftlight, we see the potential for making our lives richer, simpler and happier - but we also see the potential for darker forces. Our work exploits and expands the good and tries to control the rest, so that as your life spreads, it remains safe.
Civil Engineering
We have been involved in core concepts since we started, in fact our first project was to tinker with the SMTP email protocol. The Internet is a place with no boundaries, and almost no law. The best we have are standards and protocols, and we work hard to improve and secure both. From CSS3 to emerging platforms, Flash, encryption and IP layer systems, we try to ensure the world works like you expect, and doesn't fall over.
The Internet is far more than 'the Web', and a lot of what we do is off-Web, in areas such as corporate security, routing and interfacing. Your virtual world is the same as your real one - the Web is what you see and use; your homes, stores, streets and parks. It only runs smoothly because of all the stuff you don't see - gas pipes, phone lines, air traffic control. We try to make sure your virtual home is comfortable, the mall is within walking distance and an airliner doesn't fly through your bathroom.
