Sun Microsystems India has announced open sourcing of Sun Small Programmable Object Technology (Sun SPOT), a Sun Microsystems Laboratories research project. The open source release of the Java technology-based Sun SPOT platform will include hardware, software and the Squawk Virtual Machine.

According to Sun, the new educational pricing structure and expanded Sun SPOT availability provides exciting opportunities for innovation and the creation of Java technology-based wireless sensor and embedded applications for the student community. "We created this technology to inspire students and educators to develop new, creative and useful applications," said Krithiwas Neelakantan, director, Education and Research, Sun Microsystems India.
Sun SPOTs are already being featured in curricula from grade school through graduate programmes. The new educational pricing for the Sun SPOT JDK software provides educators with an affordable platform to use in the classroom for hands-on experimentation and embedded application development in fields from robotics to biology.
Available now, the discounted Sun SPOT JDK software educational kit is offered, through a Sun customer service representative, only to eligible education institutions that have a Sun Education buying contract (EdVEU).
