NewMonics--First to Offer Royalty-Free J2SE-Class VM.Business Editors/High-Tech WritersSAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2003 Leader in embedded Java See PersonalJava. technology drives to establish PERC PERC See: Preferred equity redemption stock (TM) as the standard VM for target embedded markets Refers to custom-designed, computer-based devices and applications that perform a fixed set of tasks. It may refer to cellphones and other handhelds, network appliances (routers, access points, modems) and myriad consumer electronics products. through new architecture-based licensing model; New architecture-based model promises to establish PERC as the standard VM for targeted embedded markets. NewMonics announced today the first JS2E-class VM with a royalty-free licensing model. Under NewMonics' new model, PERC is licensed royalty-free by architecture with a single annual fee covering developer seats, maintenance and support, and deployment rights. Customers can enjoy royalty-free development--an option available only from clean-room Java vendors--in embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. , and to easily and economically standardize stan·dard·ize v. 1.

"These sweeping changes to our licensing model, our solid support, and benefits such as participation on our Customer Advisory Board and optional source code access encourage major customers and startups to standardize on the PERC VM for embedded Inserted into.

"PERC is the first J2SE-class embedded Java virtual machine to be offered under a royalty-free, architecture-based, subscription pricing model. Customers can now enhance and extend the licensed technology across multiple projects, products, and locations all under a single, straightforward contract. As a clean-room developer of PERC, NewMonics owes no royalties to other companies for its core technology. As a result, NewMonics is able to respond to increasing customer and market demand for royalty-free pricing and has a strategic advantage in establishing its own business model as well as the terms and conditions of its PERC licenses. The new reality our customers are facing is that they must do more with less. PERC offers all of the productivity advantages of Java technology with an unparalleled level of reliability and customer support. Couple these advantages with our new licensing model, and customers can dramatically improve productivity in and across projects, ease the administrative burden of multiple contracts, and reduce overall costs - they can do more for less." PERC is used extensively in network infrastructure, industrial automation, telematics Originally coined to mean the convergence of telecommunications and information processing, the term later evolved to refer to automation in automobiles. GPS navigation, integrated hands-free cellphones, wireless communications and automatic driving assistance systems all come under the and military and aerospace markets. Packaging, Pricing, and Availability: PERC is available in three packages, The PERC Starter Kit, The PERC Design Starter Suite, and The PERC Corporate Developer Suite.

NewMonics provides advanced Java-compatible solutions for today's most complex and robust embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. . At the heart of the development environment is NewMonics' revolutionary PERC virtual machine, which was architected from the ground up to meet the demanding needs of emerging embedded applications An application that permanently resides in an industrial or consumer device. Providing some type of control function and/or user interface, the software is typically stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM or flash memory. in fields such as fleet telematics, network infrastructure, military/aerospace, and advanced industrial automation. The PERC platform includes compilers, tools, and libraries for Intel and Power PC microprocessors running on most popular real-time operating systems (operating system) Real-Time Operating System - (RTOS) Any operating system where interrupts are guaranteed to be handled within a certain specified maximum time, thereby making it suitable for control of hardware in embedded systems and other time-critical applications. . NewMonics Professional Service Division provides expertise in commercial and consumer telematics, design and implementation of advanced applications frameworks, and specialized applications of PERC.
