They provide technology that enables devices with no prior communication functions to connect to other devices using smartphones and networks, in hopes of reaching their goal of “a world with multi-connected-devices”. Founded in 1996, Aplix Corporation took the lead in developing technologically advanced products, and was the first among home electronic companies in Japan to obtain a Java license from Sun Microsystems. Application execution environments such as “JBlend” and “emblend” are widely used on mobile phone and audio-visual equipment all over the world, and are installed on over 800 million devices (Dec 2012). Aplix Corporation provides the platform on which these execution environments are run.
