Platforms
At the time of writing, the following platforms are defined, which base on/extend GEM:
- the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP), the open, multi-platform middleware specification developed by the DVB project,
- the OpenCable Application Platform (OCAP / tru2way), which is an Interactive television (iTV) middleware software layer for US cable,
- the Advanced Common Application Platform (ACAP) from North America’s ATSC,
- GEM-IPTV, a version of GEM developed by DVB intended for telco-based networks,
- the ARIB B.23 specification from Japan's ARIB,
- the PAE specification in the Open IPTV Forum,
- BD-J the Java-platform for the Blu-ray disc
As all these platforms are based on the common GEM-core, making it possible to write Java applications that will run interoperably on all these systems.

“I would rather be known as an advocate of equal suffrage than to speak every night on the best-paying platforms in the United States and ignore it.”
