Qualcomm to Add Support for Java in M2M Chipsets

Qualcomm and Oracle have announced they are working together to bring Oracle Java ME Embedded 3.2 support to Qualcomm’s QSC6270-Turbo chipset, which utilizes its Gobi modem solution for 3G.

The companies said that the combination of the Java platform, used by more than 9 million developers worldwide, with the QSC6270-Turbo chipset, will offer a wide range of technical and business benefits to M2M software developers and systems integrators.

Support for Java on the QSC6270-Turbo chipset will enable developers with little mobile development experience to write and execute Java applications directly on devices that incorporate a QSC6270-Turbo chipset, taking advantage of the various hardware interfaces and capabilities of the 3G modem.

“QTI recognizes the important role that the application environment and its developer ecosystem will play in helping grow and realize the potential of the emerging M2M applications,” said Kanwalinder Singh, senior vice president of business development, QTI. “Collaborating with Oracle to enable Java on the QSC6270-Turbo chipset provides participants in the M2M ecosystem with a broad set of powerful technologies to fulfill key M2M requirements.”

QTI is a Gold level member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN).
