OSGi Runtime of mBS Smart Home SDK

mBS Smart Home SDK contains ProSyst´s own implementation of the OSGi Core and Compendium specifications and lots of ProSyst connected home specific extensions.

The features of the OSGi runtime are:

• ProSyst own, low-footprint OSGi implementation compliant to release version 4.2
• Embedded middleware framework open for services and applications
• Optimized the use in commercial embedded products, e.g. in broadband equipment, modems, routers, gateways, CPEs, STBs, femtocell devices
• TR-069 based remote management agent, incl. service and application lifecycle management
• Home network connectivity incl. Zwave, ZigBee, UPnP, KNX, X10, WebCams
• Scalable home automation middleware for scripted automation scenarios
• Media broadcasting and playback middleware: DLNA
• Integrated web server and web framework for rich web based interfaces
• Integrated graphical user interface toolkit for device displays
• Notification middleware: Email & SMS
• Sophisticated resource management support, enhancing runtime robustness and reliability
• Intelligent, extensible native watchdog agent
• Ported and optimized for many JVMs and OSs such as Linux, Android, Windows CE, …
• Proven in Commercial Product Deployments: ProSyst's own mBS OSGi implementation has been sold more than 4,000,000 times in last 2 years
• ProSyst mBS Smart Home has been chosen by multiple Tier-1 broadband service providers and by leading residential gateway and CPE vendors worldwide

mBS Smart Home supports advanced device and software management

• mBS Smart Home comes with rich remote management capabilities (incl. TR-069 Java stack)
• provides platform, application & service lifecycle management
• Remote install, update, uninstall, configuration, monitoring & diagnostics – on the fly
• provides sophisticated E2E support & QoS tool

Benefits  of an OSGi based runtime on Digital Living devices:

• Portability of applications & services due to Java
• Dynamic on system discovery of services & APIs
• Modularization of the platform and applications (less monolythical architectures)
• Higher degree of code re-use
• Lots of off-the-shelf components available
• Platform, applications and services are remotely manageable: Deploy, monitor, diagnose, lifecycle, policy, configuration, etc.
