Funambol is a mobile open source platform that can be used for many types of
mobile applications, including push email, PIM data synchronization and device
management. It provides C++ and Java client APIs and server side Java APIs.
It facilitates the development, deployment and management of a wide range of
mobile projects.
The Funambol project has gone beyond the original server engine. It now
includes administration tools and many mobile device clients. Funambol has been
downloaded more than two million times and has perhaps the largest mobile
developer community in the world. Funambol is in production use all over the
world and supports millions of end users. The project has been granted several
awards from prestigious industry organizations for innovation in the mobile
industry.
Funambol consists of several components, including:
* Funambol Data Synchronization Server: a mobile server providing
synchronization services for mobile devices and PC software,
as well as push email capabilities.
* Funambol Device Management: an OMA DM server to remotely manage
mobile devices.
* Funambol Connectors: interfaces email systems, databases, filesystems
and applications, for bidirectional data synchronization.
* Funambol Clients and Plug-ins: software that enables users to
synchronize email and PIM data (contacts, calendar, tasks and notes)
between a wide range of mobile devices and the Funambol server.
* Funambol Software Development Kits (SDKs): tools to develop
sometimes-connected mobile applications on devices (in Java
(J2SE and J2ME) and C++) and to add data sources to the server.
