By developing Beads to interface with virtually all networks, interfaces, protocols and devices, we have created a platform that is truly future proof. We currently support all major network standards and platforms. In addition, Beads allow us to interface with applications to leverage applications for content processing. We have Beads to interface with Desktop components such as speech engines, media players and telephony systems to name a few. In addition as new standards in the home are ratified such as HAVI, UPNP, and JINI, we will develop Beads to enable Strings based devices to communicate with these appliances.
Strings is available today to top tier manufacturers.
We are focused on high volume and credible players in the home market to ensure we expend our efforts on the highest return customers. We are working with customers to enable Strings appliances which should be available by end of the year. Over time BeComm will push the development of more software Beads to enable everything from interactive TV to residential gateways and user interfaces. A user will be able to marshall a network of appliances to work together seamlessly to carry out an experience. Interfaces will be available that will give users access to content without forcing them to be mired in the intricacies of where it came from.
