targets residential gateway devices and gives service providers the ability to deliver services to the networked home on-demand. Residential gateway technology connects devices with each other and with service providers over the Internet. By adding the Java Embedded Server software to a product, device manufacturers can easily transform any broadband termination device, such as DSL/Cable Modem or Set-Top box into a residential gateway. The ability to dynamically offer new services through a high-speed, always-on network gives service providers the ability to offer customers new capabilities, such as telephony on demand, energy control, home security, appliance diagnostics, and more. Java Embedded Server integrates with development tools from the Sun's Forte for Java product line and iPlanet back-end software from the Sun-Netscape alliance. This combination of Sun technologies enables end-to-end solutions for the delivery of next-generation Internet services to the networked home.Industry deregulation of telecommunications and other utilities, and the proliferation of consumer products with embedded microprocessor technologies is creating new business opportunities for delivery of managed communication and other services to the home. Java Embedded Server is compliant with the OSGi standard assuring manufacturers and service providers of an open standard platform on which to develop and deploy these new kinds of services. To simplify and expedite the development process for services, Java Embedded Server is bundled with a customized version of the Forte for Java Community Edition, an integrated development environment.
