The Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi) announced that 4D HomeNet, Acunia,

Connected Systems, Espial, Gatespace, IBM, ProSyst, Samsung and Sun Microsystems

are the first nine companies worldwide to have passed certification testing for

their OSGi Service Platform-based products. This validates the growing adoption

of OSGi deployment for the residential and telematics environments.

The availability of certified and compliant service platforms allows

customers to purchase products, confident in the knowledge that they meet the

requirements for the OSGi Service Platform Release 2 specification. The

specification facilitates the installation and operation of multiple services on

a single service gateway (set-top box, cable or DSL modem, PC, automotive

information and entertainment platform, multimedia gateway or dedicated

residential gateway).

"This is a great achievement for OSGi," said John R Barr, President

of OSGi and Director of Standards Realization for Motorola. "Producing a

compliant framework is not a trivial undertaking and the availability of so

many, just three months after the start of the program, is a huge vote of

confidence for what we´re doing for the delivery of services to networked

devices."
