HotJava Apps Contest to Award $1 Mill. in Prizes

12/01/95

The Java Cup International is a new contest in which users design the "killer app" for Sun's new Web browser application, HotJava. HotJava allows one to develop "applets" that download from an Internet server and run on a user's client computer. Thus, one creates interactive applications that appear to run "over" the Internet; however, the actual program runs on the local computer. This eliminates performance as well as cross- platform compatibility problems. Over $1 million worth of prizes will be awarded by the contest. Full details on the Java Cup International can be found on Sun's Home Page http://javacontest.sun.com. Information about training for HotJava is also available. Sun Microsystems Computer Co., Mountain View, CA (800) 821-4643.

In-Building Wireless Reference Architecture

In Building Wireless (IBW) involves the distribution of wireless signals inside buildings to provide data and voice connectivity. IBW can provide a direct wireless signal from cellphone carriers into the building using small cells or a Distributed Antenna System (DAS). A DAS is a network of antennas that sends and receives cellular signals on a carrier’s licensed frequencies, thereby improving voice and data connectivity for end users. Lack of capacity and coverage are the two main performance issues that an IBW deployment can resolve. Understanding what they mean is essential to comparing and choosing the right IBW technology.
