New Jersey, November 14,
2001 - Atinav Inc. (www.atinav.com),
a provider of universal Internet access and communications
applications for the digital economy, today launched aveLink
OSGi Framework, a new software technology based on the
Open Standards Gateway Initiative (OSGi) that allows heterogeneous
devices or services to communicate, share functionality
and provide accessibility to any type of network from
browser/non-browser based clients
aveLink
OSGi Framework allows devices and services incorporating
different standards (i.e. Jini, UPnP, etc.) to connect through
different networking technologies (i.e. Bluetooth, Home RF and
IEEE 802.11, etc.) Using aveLink, the incompatible devices or
services form a temporary network that enables it to have
access to the Internet, a LAN/WAN or a wireless network. The
product also provides an application development platform, so
service providers can quickly develop services using the
supported technologies.
aveLink OSGi Framework contains
OSGi defined Bundles for Log and HTTP, Remote Administration
Bundles for HTTP, Telnet and Admin, Technology Bundles
for JINI Lookup Service, WAP Gateway and SMS Gateway and
Interoperability Bundles for Thick and Thin Client Interfaces
including support for JINI Interfaces. Optional Bundles
available, include support for Bluetooth and UPnP.
aveLink OSGi Framework Technology
can be incorporated in devices such as phones, web pads,
control devices and residential gateways. aveLink OSGi
Framework supports Java technology and will work with
any operating system supporting J2SE. Also available is
support for J2ME, for small, embedded devices.
“The true benefit to aveLink is its ability to integrate
multiple standards and technologies, thereby alleviating
the burden on the developer of knowing all the different
environments,” said Kash Patel, CIO, Atinav. “We feel that
the aveLink product is unique, as it provides our customers
a development framework that can incorporate future technologies
without having to rewrite existing solutions.”
Atinav’s aveLink OSGi Framework
comes with full documentation, as well as manuals describing
the process of creating interoperability services. The
detailed manuals are supplemented by working example code
that describes how to create a JINI Printer and Fax service
application.
Patel added: “According to
Park Associates, the emerging market for residential gateways
will more than triple over the next five years, growing
from 8.6 million units in 2001 to more than 33 million
units in 2005. This is a tremendous market opportunity
for Atinav”.
