BREW (Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless)

BREW is also seen as an ecosystem. It has been associated mainly with cdma-based
systems; however, technically, it is available for use with GSM/GPRS and UMTS
networks — that is, it is mobile technology agnostic.
BREW provides a whole range of features, applications, and services that can
be accessed by the user via the BREW software on the handset. BREW application
developers are provided with the development and testing tools they need to make
the applications available to the users. Operators benefit from a flexible system that
provides a platform for a variety of advanced services and features.
The BREW distribution system (BDS) is the network-based system that distributes
the content and applications.
