OSGi Technology Enables New & Exciting Services & Applications for Networked Devices

This October in Paris, France, the OSGi Alliance will be hosting its 4th Annual World Congress and Inaugural Developer's Forum. This event will focus on Release 4 of the OSGi Technology and the impact that Release 4 will have on the mobile device industry, as well how Release 4 promises to advance the telematics and automotive electronics market, connected home and smart building industry, and bring business value to other networked devices.

What OSGi Technology Means for the Mobile Phone & Smart Phone Industry

As the traditional mobile phone evolves to be a key tool for connected personal computing, operators and service providers are anxious to deploy new devices into this market that can deliver high value data services to their customers. Mobile devices are also becoming a necessity to enable employees to be more productive and less tied to a fixed location. Service providers and enterprise IT managers are looking for cost-effective ways to manage their subscribers'/employees' devices and applications, and enable interoperability. Device manufacturers face difficult choices as customization of devices and applications increases development costs and time to market.

The OSGi Service Platform fulfills the needs of developers, operators and the enterprise by providing advanced component management capabilities for dynamically deployable applications, libraries and services. The architecture allows enterprises, device manufacturers, operators and service providers to extend the platform features of the device AFTER it has left the factory. Services, applications and service-oriented Applications Programming Interfaces can be remotely downloaded to, upgraded in or even removed from mobile devices. This capability is the cornerstone that will allow the new marketplace for device middleware to emerge.

Developers working with networked devices will not want to miss the OSGi Alliance's Inaugural Developer Forum. This event offers an in-depth look at the OSGi Service Platform and Release 4, including insight into Release 4's framework features. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how the deployment of OSGi technology interacts with different application development platforms for enterprise server and mobile and wireless applications - including J2EE, J2ME, OSCAR, .Net, Eclipes, CDC and CDLC.

First hand insights from companies deploying services on the OSGi Service Platform will be offered by industry leaders representing companies that include IBM, BMW, Siemens VDO, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung Electronics, and many others. Register today to learn how organizations are developing incremental revenue through the adoption of OSGi technology.
