What services will be delivered using the OSGi Services Platform?
The OSGi specification allows service providers and others to bundle and manage existing telephony, data networking, enterprise applications, desktop programs, and entertainment services, but also enables a whole new set of value-added services (e.g., energy management, telematics, home monitoring and automation, device software enhancements). These services are offered via the Internet, internal enterprise networks, various last-mile broadband connections, and high-speed wireless data networks to the home, car, mobile, device environments, and other computing systems. The OSGi specification provides the “glue” in this new value chain, through an open, platform-independent framework and APIs, which allows for the dynamic delivery of managed services with secure, scalable and reliable metrics.
