Cologne, June 13, 2007 - ProSyst Software GmbH » www.prosyst.com
announced today that the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration
Consortium (VIIC), has selected ProSyst mBedded Server (mBS)
Professional Edition, mBS Telematics Extension and mPower Remote
Manager as the OSGi platform for developing the Vehicle On-Board
Equipment (OBE) for their proof-of-concept activities. Comprised of a
group of leading automobile manufacturers, VIIC´s OBE initiative
will enable a standards-based communications infrastructure that
supports vehicle-to-infrastructure and vehicle-to-vehicle
communications in an effort to improve vehicle safety, vehicle
mobility and enable consumer and commercial services. ProSyst was
chosen by the consortium for the quality and breadth of its OSGi
solutions, its extensive automotive expertise and its robust global
support services.
VIIC selected ProSyst´s certified OSGi implementation after a
comprehensive review and thoughtful consideration that compared other
vendors and the leading proprietary systems in the automotive
industry today. The ProSyst solution delivers an unmatched open
standard based platform that combines flexibility with ease of
integration.
ProSyst mBedded Server is a high performance, low footprint OSGi R4
implementation with many interesting add-ons. Based on open standards
from Java, OSGi and OMA specifications, ProSysts mPower Remote
Manager is a highly scalable remote management system geared to
manage OSGi frameworks, e.g. running on in-vehicle systems, and
enabling dynamic
deployment of services and applications after manufacturing. Those
new components can be remotely installed,
started, stopped, updated on the fly, removed, re-installed, etc. In
addition, ProSyst offers an optimisation tool for embedded Java, the
ProSyst JProfiler, that also comes as an Eclipse plug-in. ProSyst
Java-related services range from inhouse development, support,
training to high end technical consulting.
ProSyst is a Java pioneer and joined the OSGi Alliance as one of its first
members in 1999. Since then the company is entirely focussed on that
technology and most actively involved in helping to create the OSGi
specifications R1 - R4. Dr. Susan Schwarze from ProSyst is a board
member of the OSGi Alliance and VP Marketing. Kai Hackbarth from
ProSyst is the Requirements Chair for the OSGi Alliance, the interim
Chair of the Vehicle Expert Group and the Chair of the End-to-End /
100% solution committee.
Being
selected by a highly-regarded group such as the VII-Consortium is
important for ProSyst and further emphasizes our position as a
leading provider of OSGi solutions in the automotive space,"
said Daniel Schellhoss, Executive VP ProSyst.
The
VIIC was established in 2004 to support the National VII Coalition
effort to determine the feasibility of nationwide deployment of a
Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (VII) program, and to establish a
strategy for implementation, communications standards and
capabilities. The National VII Coalition consists of the U.S.
Department of Transportation, ten State Departments of
Transportation, and light vehicle manufacturers. The VIIC's members
are: BMW of North America, LLC, DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Ford
Motor Company, General Motors Corporation, Honda R&D Americas,
Inc., Nissan North America, Inc., Toyota Motor Engineering &
Manufacturing North America, Inc., Volkswagen of America, Inc.
Vehicle OBE delivers an OSGi/Java-based application host
platform; vehicle interface, human/machine interface (HMI) and global
positioning services; and embedded Dedicated Short Range
Communications (DSRC) radio, WAVE stack and Java communications API.
If deployed, VII will require the build-out of networks, digital
radios, pods and communications systems on major US roadways. Such a
deployment of roadside infrastructure may incorporate various
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies into the
transportation network and integrate ITS communications and sensors
in vehicles.
