IBM Innovation Center: Pervasive computing centers
Pervasive computing represents the changing face of computing. Traditional PC and server-based solutions are now challenged by a computing environment that features an unlimited selection of mobile, wireless or embedded intelligent devices.
Selected worldwide IBM Innovation Centers feature pervasive computing centers that provide specialized skills and resources. Learn how to extend your applications to support new device platforms such as:
- 3G smartphones
- Mobile telephones
- Laptops
- PDAs
- RFID
- Sensors and actuators
Support throughout the development life cycle is available both on-site at our centers or remotely.

The pervasive computing centers include services for these technology areas:
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): The ability to read and write data held on RFID tags is a growing requirement from many customers. Integration with IBM products like WebSphere Premises Server will allow your application to participate in complex RFID environments. Our comprehensive RFID labs will allow you to architect, develop and test solutions using a wide range of industry leading RFID equipment from both IBM and third-party companies.
IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS): IMS is a new industry platform that allows telecommunications operators to deploy converged solutions with great speed and lower cost. This will potentially open up significant opportunities for those solution providers who enhance their offerings to run in an IMS environment. By working with us, you can architect a solution that can run inside a telephony network and integrate with billing, presence and subscriber information via IMS products from IBM such as WebSphere Presence Server, WebSphere IP Multimedia Subsystem Connector and WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server.
Voice: The enhanced speech recognition technology in products such as WebSphere Voice Server gives developers the means to deploy fully interactive speech support that can significantly enhance existing solutions. Available exclusively at the Hursley Center, UK our voice technology team is equipped with facilities to enable you to develop and test scalable voice solutions.
Sensors and actuators: Organizations are seeking to integrate large numbers of intelligent low cost sensors and actuator devices into their existing computing infrastructures. IBM products such as WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment can provide the ideal platform for these small devices and other members of the WebSphere product family can help filter, sort, aggregate and distribute the vast amounts of data that sensor networks can generate. We will help you develop solutions that can support the most demanding requirements.
Rich client technologies: Developers often need to deploy applications on a wide range of device platforms while accessing comprehensive middleware features together with compelling user interface technologies. IBM Lotus Expeditor is IBM's universal managed client platform for mobile devices and PCs. We can help you take full advantage of Lotus Expeditor and produce solutions supporting a wide range of supported devices.
