The Internet of Goods provides the specification, hardware designs, and software implementations for a network of tubes and routers to ensure the delivery of goods across significant distance.
The goods are packaged in an appropriately sized pod and are sent from a node across the network to their destination.
The pod is a metallic, pill-shaped container.
The node has connections to other nodes through tubes.
The tube uses magnetic levitation to transport the pod.
Each node has one or more routers.
