Overview

•  Challenges

•  OSGi Key Benefits

•  Standardization

•  Market Trends

•  Java

•  Summary


The Challenge

•  OSGi enables creation of a service delivery platform

•  What is the OSGi doing to enable the creation of services and applications – Technically – Business drivers


OSGi Key Technical Benefits

•  Standard APIs •  Dynamic software updates •  Remote control •  Remote maintenance •  Remote diagnosis •  Data exchange •  Secure, identifiable, and trusted


Ensuring the Standards

•  Reference implementation available

•  Compliance program instituted – 10 certified compliant frameworks – Details in RFC-52 (members only) – Also, http://www.osgi.org/resources/compliance/

– Don’t need to be a member to have a certified compliant implementation*

*But, must be certified by a member


Adopting the Standards

•  For OSGi members – Expert Groups – Nursery

•  For OSGi members and non-members – The Developer Zone – Open Source Implementations – Freely downloadable and try-able

implementations

Key markets addressed by the standards

•  APIs exist to accelerate application development in different markets – Residential/Home Networking – e.g.,

UPnP, Jini, X.10* – Telematics (e.g., position classes)

•  License fee free – implementation specific – versions available

*Not part of OSGi specification — proprietary/vendor implementation


OSGi Enables Interworking with Other Standards

Vertical/Industry

Service Delivery

Local Network

Broadband Network


Marketing, marketing, marketing

E.g., Attendance at trade shows •  CES January 02 (Las Vegas) •  Digital Car (Detroit)

–  Participation from OSGi members –  Creation of 'Common Demo' with code and

equipment from numerous OSGi members

•  Connections (Dallas) — Gatespace, Echelon, Acunia, ProSyst, IBM and Sun

•  E/home Show (Berlin) — BSH, Deutsche Telekom, Echelon, IBM, Philips, ProSyst, and Telefónica de Espana


Market Trends

•  35 million broadband homes in 2005 in the U.S. –  75% will have home networks –  PCs first, STB and media devices next

•  Automotive OEMs moving to information and entertainment platforms –  OSGi Service Platform in most plans –  Services, life cycle management, and dynamic device

integration key drivers

•  European partnership projects defining solutions –  OSGi Service Platform simplifies cooperative

environment –  Home and auto integration points


Key Uptake for OSGi already

Automotive/Infotainment •  Project: 3GT infotainment

platform (EU) •  Audi •  Bombardier‘s wireless fleet

management system for New Jersey Transit locomotives

•  DaimlerChrysler UMTS test vehicle

•  D’Ieteren and Flemish government Mobility Management

•  GM OnStar Europe •  ITEA EAST EEA automotive

project •  Pilotfish car-sharing project •  Volvo VTD

Home Automation/Health Care •  Alleato Health Care •  BSH networked home

appliances •  E2-Home Stockholm •  e-PASTA Home Networking •  HomeDirector home pilot •  HomeNet2Run •  InHaus Duisburg •  InterComponentWare

Interactive Health Record LifeSensor

•  Telia Connected Home •  Whirlpool’s Home Solutions line

See OSGi Fact Sheet for details — available at http://www.osgi.org/about/


Home Networking trends in the U.S.

•  2600 online US households surveyed –  44% subscribe to high-speed Internet service –  56% have dial-up Internet access.

•  46% of total online U.S. households, 54% of broadband subscribers and 40% of dial-up households, have the requisite multiple PCs to enable home networking.

•  71% of digital imagers are very or somewhat interested in home networking, which enables viewing and storage of family photographs on multiple devices in the home.

•  66% of gamers are interested in connectivity, which leverages the network to download and play multi-user games across multiple broadband-enabled platforms.

Home Networking Challenges

•  Ease of installation and management

•  Low cost points

•  Data type versatility

•  Extensibility

•  Automatic security


DSL Set top box trends

•  Boxes must have a selling point of less than $200

•  Tens of thousands of boxes expected to be deployed in: –  North American rural

ILECs –  FastWeb in Italy –  TransACT in Australia –  Chunghwa in Taiwan –  Scandinavian utilities


The Java Premium

•  Currently, the JVM and OSGI framework require: – ~1 MB of persistent storage (OSGi

framework only 100-200k) – ~1.8MB RAM

•  Additional MIPS for the CPU too

•  With Moore’s law...


Potential Roadblocks

•  Lack of proven financial model

•  Cost of rollout

•  Lack of commercially hardened solutions

•  Lack of applications on top of platform

•  Lack of money out there right now


Summary

•  OSGi not only enables a service delivery platform, but also the creation of value-added applications and services

•  OSGi addresses both business and technical issues

•  But we can still use your help!
