10 Emerging Wireless Entertainment Players to Watch in 2006





BREW®
With its nearly transparent execution environment based on industry software standards, BREW®'s open architecture serves as a common platform for newly developed wireless applications. Sitting lightly "on top" of a phone's chip system software, the BREW platform has access to chip-level features allowing it to download and run apps directly on the phone. By dynamically allocating RAM for applications as they are running and by using local storage and processing (client and client/server), the BREW platform optimizes memory allocation. This enables BREW's application management capabilities to handle all local execution functions, as well as external network events.

In addition to supporting native applications written in C/C+ +, the BREW platform supports applications written in other programming languages such as Java and is compatible with existing OS and user-interface software.


gpsOne®
SnapTrack's end-to-end location solution technology offers anytime, anywhere, accurate, high-speed location of a wireless caller, even inside buildings where conventional GPS does not operate. SnapTrack pioneered Wireless Assisted GPS™ (A-GPS) and owns patents that are fundamental to the cost-effective deployment of end-to-end wireless A-GPS-based location systems. SnapTrack makes this technology and its Intellectual Property (IP) available to the commercial market by licensing its technology implementations to business partners who deploy their SnapTrack-based products for commercial use in wireless networks around the world, on all air interfaces (CDMA, WCDMA[UMTS]/GSM/GPRS, PDC/PHS, paging networks, etc.). The distribution of SnapTrack technology to its partners' products is shown below, in the context of a commercial location service at a Wireless Operator.

The gpsOne™ hybrid wireless A-GPS solution offers highly accurate, highly available position location data in virtually any environment, from rural areas to deep urban canyons and inside buildings. Compliant with industry-accepted CDMA standards, the gpsOne hybrid solution is the world's most broadly deployed Personal Location Technology™ - powering a wide range of location-based information services, emergency and enhanced personal safety services, telematics and automotive applications.


Java
Java technology is the standard of excellence for the digital experience. For consumers, developers, and IT decision-makers who want their technology to do more, Java technology is the essential ingredient. It enables a more interactive, connected, and entertaining experience. Java technology provides the digital heartbeat for the coolest, most effective technologies in use today and tomorrow.
