Sun is releasing the SunTM Content Delivery Server, JavaTM Device
Test Suite and the JavaTM Mobility Advantage Program to assist mobile
operators who wish to speed time-to-market and time-to-money for
consumer and enterprise mobile content. The new products allow Sun to
offer a complete, end-to-end, open standards-based mobile content
delivery solution.
"Sun is addressing the market's need for a comprehensive set
of products and programs that will help mobile operators,
regardless of network platforms, manage the entire mobile
content ecosystem efficiently and profitably," said Juan Dewar,
senior director, Consumer and Mobile Systems Group of Sun.
"Operators who take a proactive approach to building and
nurturing a strong ecosystem of developers, content providers
and device manufacturers will accelerate ARPU (Average Revenue
Per User) growth, increase ROI and customer loyalty, without
having to give up control of their data services business model
or compromise their long-term business plans."
Sun Content Delivery Server
This high-performance server allows operators to manage the tasks
associated with securely delivering mobile applications over-the-air
(OTA) to subscribers. It also allows operators and service providers
to more efficiently manage, market, deliver, bill for and monetize a
constant flow of content, including: Wireless JavaTM technology,
polyphonic ring tones, pictures, audio, video and multimedia
applications.
Java Device Test Suite
More than 4,000 test cases help make up the test system of this device.
These cases are designed to verify, validate and evaluate Java
technology-enabled devices. Operators and OEMs can benefit from an
enhanced reputation for quality, performance and security.
Java Mobility Advantage Program
This program is designed to help operators and developers create,
manage and monetize mobile Java technology applications and services.
It streamlines the mobile content supply chain for operators and
developers.
"This end-to-end, open standards-based solution from Sun will
accelerate the rollout of Java technology-based mobile services
by enabling software developers and operators to more easily
deliver new and exciting wireless applications," said Rick
Kornfeld, vice president and general manager of Texas
Instruments' wireless chipset business. "These programs and
products will speed the growth of the wireless data market and
thus increase momentum for the deployment of exciting new 2.5G
and 3G handsets, as well as the TI wireless technology powering
them."
