Recursion Software announced the release of Voyager 7.1, a pervasive software platform that now enables Smartphones and other small devices to access OSGi services remotely.

OSGi-based architecture is predominantly used in embedded environments, yet the mobile and embedded software landscape continues to merge with products like Voyager and OSGi-enabled hardware, such as Sprint Titan OS-based phones, MIDP 3.0 phones, and internet and telco routers from companies such as Cisco and Eurotech.

Voyager is a pervasive platform solution reportedly enabling an application to be developed once and deployed across all of the aforementioned devices, as well as any mix of UMPCs, MIDs, laptops, workstations, servers and embedded devices.

This latest release also includes a universal location API for Android, Symbian, Windows, and JEE devices, with the addition of others such as Skyhook and Ekahau forthcoming.

Providing remote OSGi access strengthens Voyager's peer-to-peer capabilities by leveraging services across entire communities. With the Voyager framework, nodes become both an intelligent client and server that can publish and subscribe to a decentralized ad hoc community over any wired or wireless network.
