Successful Pitch for your startup!!! A MUST-READ IF YOU ARE AN ENTREPRENEUR.


I found this excellent preso from Canaan Partners on SlideShare.

Java @ EDF : le grand chantier des compteurs communicants a commencé

















On a fait les news ce matin en France...

A lire:
http://www.businessmobile.fr/actualites/edf-le-grand-chantier-des-compteurs-communicants-a-commence-39751516.htm

Un de mes premiers projets energies est en phase de deploiment par EDF en France...

ERDF (Electricité Réseau Distribution France) entame le remplacement des compteurs électriques traditionnels par de nouveaux dispositifs communicants. A terme, ce sont 300 000 compteurs qui seront installés.

Grace a ce dispositif, les informations sur la consomation electrique seront transmises en temp reel en utilisant le réseau électrique via la technologie CPL (courant porteur en ligne) puis le GPRS vers le réseau télécom de l'électricien.

Ces concentrateurs GPRS embarquent une machine virtuelle Java provenant de chez Sun Microsystems, d'ou ma contribution a ce projet en temp que chef de projet.

Java est definitivement une technologie grandissante dans le monde de l'embarque... ce n'est pas pour rien que Java est present dans 90% des telephones portables dans le monde, dans plus de 80 millions de decodeurs TV, dans 100% des lecteurs BluRay, et dans tous les Amazon Kindles... c'est un fait!



May the Java force be with you ;-)
