Voyager Pervasive Platform Create intelligent, location-based applications for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and most consumer electronic devices
As the “Internet of Things” continues to quickly emerge, there is a rapidly growing demand for devices to participate in real-time data sharing with other devices, systems and clouds, regardless what network, device or systems they employ. Voyager delivers highly collaborative, dynamic, cross-platform applications and infrastructure for all business situations that require complexity beyond the status quo. It is the only platform available that enriches applications with server-level intelligence on the device itself, and can distribute content P2P and P2-Group across all major mobile platforms.
How Does it Work?	Brochure Download Eval
Voyager is an abstraction platform that enables you to code natively in the language of your choice and deploy to any device regardless of which virtual machine the device employs. Voyager abstracts the OS layer by providing a universal set of APIs.
New to Voyager 8.0 (RC3) Network Address Translation Support (NAT)- Enables Voyager applications to securely span multiple networks and associated firewalls without unnecessarily exposing public IP addresses or ports Dynamic Discovery- Enables Voyager applications and services running on devices to automatically discover each other within a LAN to share information Distributed BONDI- Enables remote access via BONDI compliant interfaces to data resident from any device to any other device(s) on the network. Voyager v8.0 will support distributed BONDI interfaces for GeoLocation and Contact management.
Why Choose Voyager? Extend Your Device Reach No longer limit your market size by designing software to the device. Voyager APIs offer an abstraction layer, delivering your app on most mobile and embedded OSs available today. You can consistently control behavior and data across devices, while developing in the language that best makes sense for your application. Make Every Device a Server Its decentralized peer-to-peer/group messaging, discovery, and edge processing avoids the single point of failure and proprietary hardware requirements that hinder even today's most popular mobile applications. Better Performance, Less Bandwidth Efficient network utilization is accomplished by removing the requirement to push all transactions and data to the cloud and pull data back to the device again with each transition or download. Voyager allows devices to host services that can be discovered dynamically provides an extremely powerful peer-2-peer, peer-2-group architectural option to further reduce network traffic.

Advantages to Using Voyager	Brochure Download Eval


Voyager is characterized by the following features: Seamless integration between Java and .NET with no additional coding required Communicate with other nodes using SOAP, IIOP, XML-RPC, RMI and our own extremely fast, secure, binary protocol VRMP Exposed as a Remote Component (accessible via protocols above), with just 2 lines of code, for access from any client language - requires no changes to pre-existing classes Publish and subscribe to any combination of enterprise JMS and MSMQ Servers Run on a wide range of wireless/handheld/embedded devices via support for 15 embedded operating systems Register and be discovered via decentralized, federated white and yellow page services Communicate with dynamically created groups of nodes, a.k.a peer-groups using its decentralized messaging service Easily integrated with RETE-based rules and Database engines Managed via any JMX-complaint console (jconsole, mc4j) using an extensive set of JMX-based Components and API's Run on any combination of IPV4 and IPV6 networks

Customer Accolades
“We've been using Voyager for more than two years. It is a mission-critical component of our development tool set. Not only is the product exceptional, but their technical staff is extremely responsive and knowledgeable as well. They are on top of JAVA development in a big way. Voyager is reasonably priced and as a result we continue use it more and more in product development. The fact that Voyager integrates CORBA and the recent addition of SOAP and COM make it even more attractive.”-- Hunnu Huhdanpaa, Development Manager CES International “With Voyager Messaging, it's message-oriented middleware (MOM) product for J2EE, Recursion Software has joined the select ranks of companies like BEA, HP, IBM and Sonic Software. ”-- Rick Wayne, Software Development Magazine “Over the years, Voyager is the only software package we have used through several newer versions of our product, multiple updates to the Java language, and several operating systems changes without significant porting or compatibility problems. We deploy on almost all Windows platforms, and several versions of Sun Solaris™ and Voyager works without noticeable difference on all of them, even in mixed networks. Deployment itself is easy since you only have to package a few libraries.”-- Richard Spaninks, Development Manager Invensys Systems. N.V.
