A Software Delivery Platform...

Becomes Important in Many Vertical
Markets...

in Order to Create Additional Revenue !

Horizontal Requirements for End-to-End
Solutions
• Common Platform for all involved Parties
– Device/Car Manufacturers, Service Providers, Gateway Operators,...
• Application independent
– There is no-one-size-fits-all killer application
– Different providers want to differentiate on different applications
• Business Model independent
– Need flexibility to evolve to viable business models
• Technology independent
– Need to support many systems built using many different technologies
• Remotely managable
– Lifecylce management
– Minimal or zero consumer dependence
– Provide control of service/access
• Lowering Risk and Development Costs

OSGi meets all these Requirements 1
• Common platform for all involved parties
– OSGi-Alliance provides open specifications enabling each party
to develop, deploy and manage applications (bundles)
• Application independence
– „Killler“-Applications can be dynamically deployed
– Any Application (a bundle, or set of bundles) can be deployed on
a OSGi Service Platform
• Business Modell independent
– OSGi does not define how applications should be offered
– Remote management systems have to support various business
models for selling value added services
– Device manufacturer, service provider defines how a service will
be offered (pay-per-use, pay-per-download, pay-per-time-period)

OSGi meets all these Requirements 2
• Technology independence
– Almost no competition with other technologies
– Most of the existing technologies can be integrated, such UPnP,
Jini, etc.
• Remote management architecture
– For user management
– For lifecycle management
– Other management operations (configuration, remote
diagnostics,...)
• Lowering risk and development costs
– OSGi members shared/sharing the risk and devlelopment costs
for the development of the OSGi Service Platform and additional
services

3GT Provides an End-to-End
Architecture Using OSGi Technology
Involves all actors in the telematics service delivery chain

Customers
Gateway operators of OSGi-enabled
and non-OSGi device networks, such
as dedicated residential gateways,
telematics on-board computers, mobile
devices, etc.
Service Providers, approaching
service users via the mPRM System
mPRM is the medium used by Service
Providers and Gateway Operators to
reach End Users – the gateway
owners, consuming service

mPRM enables Gateway Operators to:
Install new software components on OSGi-Service Platforms,
including software produced by third parties
Start, stop, update and remove services in the OSGi Service Platform
Configure gateways, services and connected devices
Define and control access rights between the Service-Platform,
services and users
Resolve dependencies and conflicts between different services
Fault handling the gateway and possibly also of connected devices
Aggregates services provided by different Service Providers into one
distinct service, resolving dependencies and conflicts between
different services

mPRM enables Service Providers to:
Assemble service software from reusable
components (bundles)
Manage user subscriptions
Deliver services to subscribed users
Obtain service usage and billing information

mPRM enables End-Users to:
Have his gateway automatically registered in
the network
Review and subscribe for new or additional
services in an easy way
Receive upgrades and updates
Receive regular (remote) maintenance

mPRM can be infor an End-to-End
