The Network Is in There.

Embedded Technology Is Bringing New
Devices into the Network Age

While some embedded solutions on the market today don't require
network access, the era of standalone devices is fading. With the influx
of innovative embedded devices like webphones, internet TV,
smartcards, PDAs that connect to the enterprise as well as each other,
customers are demanding network-aware systems as well as standards
that let them plug-in and access services -- connecting anyone,
anytime, anywhere, on anything.

Sun, a leader in open network computing, provides end-to-end
embedded technology solutions that are enabling companies to bring
new devices into the network age. Our innovative, proven solutions cover
everything from hand-held devices, networking products, to servers. And
Sun's powerful back-end servers running the SolarisTM operating
environment on UltraSPARCTM engines provide an industrial-strength
environment for highly reliable delivery of a myriad of services through
the network to millions of devices every day.

Java Technology Solutions

With JavaTM technologies, Sun provides a standard software
platform to allow information and services to flow freely on the
network through a broad range of heterogeneous devices --
scalable from smart cards to switches and servers. A rich set of
APIs covers everything from the most basic to the most
complex, so a wide range of network-centric devices can benefit
from the portability, security, and ubiquity of the Java platform. Using
JavaTM, PersonalJavaTM, EmbeddedJavaTM and Java CardTM
technologies and application environments, manufacturers can ensure
that their systems are tailored specifically for their needs.

PersonalJava

The PersonalJava platform is designed specifically for
network-connectable applications on personal consumer devices for
home, office, and mobile use. It is being used in devices with a variety of
display technologies, such as a television and products that often do not
include a keyboard or mouse for input and navigation.

EmbeddedJava

The EmbeddedJava application environment is designed for use in
devices that need the power, portability, scalability, and flexibility of the
Java programming language, have a constrained memory footprint, but
don't require the ability to download general purpose applets from the
Web. With the Embedded Java Application Environment, developers can
configure sytems for resource-constrained environments, chosing only
what they need from all of the pre-written, pre-tested Java class libraries.

Java Card

The Java Card specifications enable Java
technology to run on smart cards and other devices
with severely limited memory - providing platform
independence, the ability to store and update
multiple applications and compatibility with existing
smart card standards -- for outstanding flexibility in
the growing range of Smart Card applications.

Innovative Products

Sun provides a complete range of products that help embedded
manufacturers enter new new network-enabled markets quickly. Modular
embedded operating systems and integrated development tools let
manufacturers scale systems for every need. Our new suite of Personal
ApplicationsTM software and built-in dynamic device management make
these networked devices more functional and easy to use than ever
before.

ChorusOS and Embedded WorkShop

Sun's ChorusOSTM software is a highly scalable and
reliable embedded operating system that provides the
real-time functionality and high-availability that
telecommunications companies demand. Its modular
architecture, with replaceable systems components,
enables the implementation of highly scalable embedded
solutions, from mobile phones to high-end network equipment.

Sun Embedded WorkShop 2.0 provides an integrated development
environment for the ChorusOS and JavaOSTM for ConsumersTM
operating systems. It includes an easy-to-use graphical user interface, a
complete host-target toolset, powerful debugger and a configuration tool
that enables tailoring of operating system implementations according to
target product requirements.

JavaOS for Consumers

Leveraging the ChorusOS componentized OS architecture, JavaOS for
Consumers provides a small footprint and efficient implementation of the
PersonalJava application environment. JavaOS for Consumers optimizes
the PersonalJava environment by providing native thread support and
access to real-time kernel features, so customers can concurrently
execute both Java applications and real-time applications.

Sun Personal Applications

Sun Personal Applications is a new line
of compact, memory-efficient applications
designed specifically for
Internet-connected consumer devices
such as e-mail clients, PDAs, wireless
phones, set-top boxes, and car
navigation systems. Applications like the
new web-browser with integrated
telephony will make it easier for
consumers to access new services - just "point and click" to go from
address book to telephone call.

Java Dynamic Management Kit

The Java Dynamic ManagementTM Kit 3.0 is the industry's first Java
technology-based solution for building and distributing network
management intelligence into Java technology-enabled appliances - so
they can be dynamically managed and updated easily from a central
location. Companies can deploy policy-based just-in time services that
regulate quality of service, update systems, download applications, and
alter security levels - all over a network...faster and more cost-effectively
than ever before.

Consumer Solutions

Sun is offering end-to-end solutions powered by the SPARCTM processor
family. SPARC is a platform of choice for the full range of
high-performance embedded networked applications: medical imaging,
high-end printing, military imaging, semiconductor manufacturing, Web
and Internet servers, network and telco switches, cellular base stations,
and more.

Sun's network expertise is key for the millions of new Webphones,
set-top boxes, beepers, smartcards, and other solutions that will enable
the creation of a worldwide network of devices that link consumers to a
wealth of information, entertainment, and business services.

Java Car

Attendees of Comdex '97 got to see a car whose
advanced electronic systems are fueled by Java
technology: the car's multiple touch-screen
displays deliver customized channels of information
to the driver and each passenger.

Webphones

Among the first consumer products to sport
Java technology-based user interfaces and
Java software foundations will be
Webphones -- intelligent telephones with a
touch screen and small keyboard that offer
Web browsing, e-mail, and custom services
via a phone line at the touch of a button.
Stay tuned over the next year, as web-enabled phones enter the homes
of consumers who have never owned a personal computer.

Internet TV

Today's internet TV services provide web access, e-mail,
e-commerce and electronic programming guides. By the
end of 1999, a new paradigm for digital TV will emerge,
"Enhanced Broadcast Digital Television Services".
Enhanced broadcast services will provide more information,
greater choice in the viewing experience through
video-on-demand, electronic programming guides and
multiple camera angles, consumer convenience features such as
banking, bill-paying and shopping as well as participation with the larger
viewing universe with e-mail, chat and game show participation.

Smart Card

Smart cards can be used to store bank
accounts, medical information, even money!
Smart card use is taking off around the
world. The Java Card Application
Environment has already been licensed on
an OEM-basis to manufacturers who
represent more than 90 percent of the
worldwide smart card manufacturing
capacity.
