BREW

The BREW Solution BREW is a complete, end-to-end solution for wireless applications development, device configuration, application distribution, and billing and payment. The complete BREW solution includes the BREW SDK™ (software development kit) for application developers, the BREW client software and porting tools for device manufacturers, and the BREW Distribution System (BDS) that is controlled and managed by operators – enabling them to easily get applications from developers to market and coordinate the billing and payment process. Operators’ BREW-based services enable subscribers to personalize their handsets by downloading applications over the air from an operator’s application download server. From the client side to the server side, BREW is optimized for the wireless environment and is engineered to meet the challenges that operators encounter in deploying wireless data services. By taking advantage of the entire BREW solution, operators can rapidly deploy their wireless data services – and, thanks to BREW’s extendable architecture, operators can offer any type of application with ease.

BREW & J2ME

QUALCOMM’s BREW® client and Sun Microsystem’s Java 2 Micro Edition™ CLDC (Connected Limited Device Configuration)/MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) environment (J2ME™) are two popular wireless platforms that offer a method for executing software applications on a mobile device. There is substantial misunderstanding about BREW and J2ME and how they relate to each other. Many sources characterize the two platforms as competitive. But in actuality, BREW is an end-to-end solution that supports multiple programming languages – including Java™.  BREW is a complete solution encompassing technical and business elements to satisfy the needs of every wireless application stakeholder. J2ME applications, or “midlets,” are one type of application that BREW can support via a J2ME extension to the BREW device client that is either pre-loaded by handset manufacturers or provisioned over the air via the BREW Distribution System (BDS). With BREW, wireless operators have an open and flexible solution for the selection, delivery and billing of wireless applications – regardless of programming language. Using a BREW handset with a Java technology-based virtual machine (VM) extension, operators may offer the complete universe of applications written in C/C++ and Java. (Other languages such as Flash and XML can also be supported via extensions to BREW.) This paper describes the BREW solution in greater detail and explains how operators can realize rapid deployment and increased revenue from the implementation of a BREW enabled system featuring applications using the developer’s desired programming language, be it C/C++, Java, XML, Flash, etc.
