Bug Labs (http://www.buglabs.net), the New York-based company behind BUG (http://buglabs.net/products), a modular embedded device development platform based on the Java programming language, today issued a series of announcements at JavaOne 2009. The announcements include a suite of enterprise-class applications and modules, an alliance with Axeda Corporation'ss (http://www.axeda.com) partner ecosystem, the forthcoming retail availability of the BUGbee 802.15.4 radio module, and the upcoming availability of BUG in select international markets.
Bug Labs will be demonstrating several applications and modules tailored for use in the enterprise, such as:
> a messaging and middleware application for BUG developed by Antenna Software (http://www.antennasoftware.com),
> an innovative mobile platform for next generation field applications, from fleet management (e.g. vehicle tracking) to telemedicine (e.g. remote health
monitoring).
> a document management and analysis platform developed by startup LivingAnalytics,
> BUGnose, its upcoming olfactory sensor module, and the first 3rd party BUGmodule, developed by JLM Innovation of Germany.
BUG takes the complexity out of developing hardware devices, said Peter Semmelhack, founder and CEO of Bug Labs. Whether a large Fortune 500 company, an R's38;D lab, or an entrepreneur
such as LivingAnalytics, BUG has helped numerous organizations lower the barrier to entry and streamline their product innovation, enabling them to get to market twice as fast at half the
cost.
