24th June 2005 - Ericsson and Sun are extending their business
relationship to develop an integrated, multitasking Java technology-based
solution. The implementation is based on Sun's Connected Limited
Device Configuration (CLDC) HotSpot Implementation and is
integrated and optimized with a full Java technology stack
on platforms from Ericsson Mobile Platforms.
The multitasking Java technology environment will expand
the utility of the mobile handset and drive new opportunities
for operators, device manufacturers and developers to create
new services that generate additional revenue streams. The
integrated solution will reduce the time and cost required
in bringing new products and services to the market, ultimately
benefiting the end consumer.
Jörgen Lantto,Vice President, Strategic Product Management,
Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says: "The results of the extended
collaboration between Sun and Ericsson is an important step
in the evolution of Java technology and can greatly accelerate
the pace of innovation and uptake of new advanced applications
in coming mobile phones, both for the consumer and the business
segment. For example, a Java-technology-based push-mail application
could now easily be enabled to run concurrently with other
applications."
Alan Brenner, vice president, Client Systems Group, Sun Microsystems,
Inc., says: "We are very happy to partner with Ericsson Mobile
Platforms, a global leader in WCDMA platforms. The multitasking
environment offered by Sun's solution will further enrich
the application support available on Ericsson's platforms.
Our collaboration to develop a complete Java technology stack
marks an essential milestone for delivering the full benefits
of Java technology to wireless subscribers, while reducing
costs for service providers, OEMs and developers."
Ericsson's platforms support a wealth of Java APIs implemented
to expose platform features through Java technology with best-in-class
performance. The multitasking feature will be part of Ericsson's
next-generation 3G mobile phone platforms, and will be made
available to Ericsson licensees at end of 2005.
