NoTA is an operating system agnostic architecture for embedded devices ranging from high volume mobile devices to rapid development of new concepts and technology prototypes.
NoTA architecture solutions have been developed during the last few years at the Nokia Research Center. From the beginning the goal has been to develop an open architecture to be used throughout the industry (also see history).
The technical solutions have been verified and matured and now the technology is ready to be opened to the industry and developer communities. The NoTA architecture and DIP protocol opening were announced in the first open NoTA Conference held in Helsinki, Finland on the 11th of June 2008.
The Open NoTA architecture can be seen as an innovation platform that in itself does not include any differentiating technology, but can be seen as an enabler for others. There is a common interest to have open solutions throughout the industry, academia and developer community that facilitate open innovation on top of neutral, non-differentiating architecture solutions.
NoTA is now an open architecture available to all interested parties through a dual licensing model.
