Sun and Aether Systems will work together on joint solutions built on open standards using the SunTM Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) and Aether's Fusion for scalability and availability. They will work together to market joint solutions for large field forces in enterprises and government agencies that perform functions such as maintenance and service, distribution and delivery, public safety and healthcare.

Aether Fusion is based on JavaTM 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EETM) and allows for the secure and reliable extension of critical information to virtually any wireless or mobile environment. In supporting the Sun ONE vision, Aether joins a growing list of industry leaders in the effort to drive market adoption of enterprise solutions that deliver JavaTM technology Web services.

"Sun, with its strength in federal government and the large enterprise, will leverage Aether's expertise in wireless solutions to introduce and deploy these solutions in largely untapped markets," said Shahram Moradpour, senior director, Market Development Organization at Sun.

Targeted markets include:

• Mobile Government and Homeland Security: Aether's PacketCluster and PocketBlue applications provide law enforcement and emergency first responders with real-time wireless access to critical data sources including national crime information. These applications also provide secure real-time communications and alerts across multiple organizations and networks.

• Mobile Office: Aether Attach provides device and network independent access to corporate email and groupware.
• Mobile Logistics: Aether's mobile logistics application, e-Mobile Delivery, provides package tracking and proof of delivery, as part of the company's robust suite of wireless supply chain management solutions.

"This expanded relationship enhances Aether's ability to extend the reach of our products and services on the Sun platform," said George Davis, President and Vice Chairman of Aether. "By developing Fusion-based applications on the Sun ONE architecture, we can offer proven mobile and wireless solutions that are designed to guarantee extensibility and flexibility for customers over time."
