Service-enabled gateways – The heart of the connected home

By Jessica Schieve

As we ring in the new year, 120,000+ people will descend on Las Vegas for the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show. The drumbeat to promote the next hot mobile or consumer device, application and technology is in full swing. The industry will be abuzz with press releases, product announcements and new partnerships.  And, yes, Wind River is gearing up for CES too. If you want to chat with us, give us a shout and we can definitely make time. 

This year, Wind River and Mindspeed have teamed up to deliver a turnkey high-performance reference platform to speed the development of service-enabling gateways. Gateways are quickly becoming the control point to manage broadband content and services. They are truly becoming the heart of the connected home.

At the show, we'll be demonstrating our integrated hardware and software solution, which includes Wind River Linux with middleware and software technologies for TR069, DLNA, OSGi, VoIP and ZigBee. This software bundle has been optimized for Mindspeed’s C1000 packet processor.  Customers can use this turnkey platform to build intelligent gateways that will enable multiple broadband services including home automation capabilities.

You can check out our gateway solution on the show floor in the Mindspeed booth in the South Hall room #MP25822. Or, you can request a private demonstration of the solution in our suite at the Las Vegas Hilton (Suite 1849/50/51). If you visit with us in our suite, you can also get a demonstration of the latest solutions for Android-based mobile devices and automotive infotaintment systems. Schedule a meeting with Wind River and learn more about what we’re showing at CES.  

See you in Las Vegas!

Java and to some degree .Net are the main choices because they have been consistently pegged as the “safe” choice to go with for mid-level project managers in the corporate world. No one was ever fired for choosing Java or Microsoft.

However, there are many large distributed applications these days that run primarily with technologies like Python, PHP, et al. Even companies like Google and Yahoo are heavily invested in these technologies. Java may be the main choice for enterprise development now, but it’s days are numbered as the only stalwart option to go with.

Let’s face it, many of these so called “enterprise applications” could easily have been written much faster and with less overhead using technologies like Python, PHP, et al.
