Esmertec and Rococo Software collaborate to enable
Bluetooth and Java technology for mobile devices
Rococo’s standards-based Java/Bluetooth technology integrates
with Esmertec’s award-winning Java runtime Platform, Jbed
CTIA Wireless, New Orleans, USA – March 15, 2005 –
Esmertec™ (www.esmertec.com), a leading provider of software
solutions for mobile phones and embedded devices, and Rococo Software
(www.rococosoft.com), a leading supplier of wireless Java™
infrastructure and tools, announce their collaboration to deliver
standards-based Java/Bluetooth technology for mobile devices.
The partnership enables mobile phone manufacturers and reference
design houses to benefit from a single, integrated Java-to-Bluetooth
API solution in Esmertec's Jbed™ environment. Rococo also
offers Esmertec’s customers Impronto Simulator, a software
development tool that lets developers build Java/Bluetooth applications
without having real Bluetooth hardware connected. Consequently,
developers can build, test and debug their Java/Bluetooth applications
in a fully simulated environment.
“Esmertec is one of the leading VM (Virtual Machine) vendors
in the marketplace and the combination of Rococo’s technology
with Esmertec’s Jbed will accelerate JSR82 support in mobile
phones and speed up the use of Bluetooth in handsets,” said
Sean O’Sullivan, Rococo CEO. “Esmertec, with its award-winning
Java runtime solutions and global presence, is an ideal partner
to drive the adoption of this technology.”
“Delivering the Java Bluetooth API on Esmertec’s
Jbed solution will enable content providers to implement richer
and more interactive applications that generate more ARPU,”
said Anne-Marie Larkin, CTO of Esmertec. “We are pleased
to partner with Rococo, a leading innovator in Java Bluetooth
technology and an active player in the evolution of the standard.”
