3G & J2ME Application Platform

The mainstream adoption of mobile applications relies on the ability to deliver a compelling user experience- something that is far too often overlooked. The ability to run network-aware software in the next generation of mobile handsets using technology such as Java? 2 Micro Edition (J2ME?) promises a much greater degree of control over the user experience of mobile applications than ever before.

Utilising intelligent client technology such as J2ME, enterprise applications can take advantage of a new paradigm of the reliability of a hybrid synchronisation/always on architecture. Put simply, applications can provide fast continuous access to information even under poor network connectivity conditions.

This new class of mobile application presents many new challenges for the wireless industry.

• Developers will be called upon to deliver this new style of mobile application for numerous devices in a timely and efficient manner.
  
  
• Operators deploying packages of branded consumer/vertical segment applications must rely on a common platform for rapid deployment on their existing infrastructure and to a variety of handset types.
  
  
• Enterprises must be able to quickly deliver applications on devices of varying form factors and costs to provide maximum use from the workforce whilst ensuring the ROI numbers stack up.

The GMG's J2ME Application Platform provides a series of server-side software, client-side libraries and design methodologies designed specifically to increase speed-to-market for the development and deployment of this next generation of rich applications for both enterprise and consumer segments alike.

• Rapid application development for compelling user interfaces across multiple device form factors.
  
  
• Easy client/server integration to Enterprise Information Systems
  
  
• User-based personalisation and data storage
  
  
• Easy integration to different infrastructures
