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 Innovative Products Consumer Solutions
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.
