Hongkong Telecom IMS Deployment Showcases Leading-Edge Java and ATM Technologies: businesswire.com
>>> "This is an historic event in embedded software, because it takes two advanced technologies--Java and ATM--out of the PC/desktop realm and into the high-volume consumer electronics arena for the first time," said Denis Connaghan, chief operating officer at Microware.
"Microware is proud to be a part of Hongkong Telecom IMS' groundbreaking initiative, which is proving that cutting edge technology can deliver appealing, affordable, and easy-to-use services to consumers via the most universal platform in the world, the television."
"The selection of Microware's DAVID system software for our television set-top boxes was critical to our initial success," said Mark Evensen, senior manager of Hongkong Telecom IMS, the
division of Hongkong Telecom responsible for interactive television services. "With the help of Microware and our other partners, we have successfully integrated Java, ATM, and other sophisticated technologies into our advanced broadband network, making Hong Kong the world's first major city where fully interactive services are commercially available." <<<
