FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, September 12, 2006– InterOP Technologies today announced that it has launched a new IP-based over the air device management (IOTA DM) platform. This product will enable carriers to set, manage, retrieve information and update settings on customer’s mobile handsets.
DM allows the carrier access to mobile device parameters previously accessible only at the time of manufacture. IOTA DM encapsulates a fully OMA, 3GPP and 3GPP2 approved suite of standards which together provide a framework for the authentication, communication, and organization of information between the mobile device, and the DM server.
“We believe our IOTA DM platform offers the most robust and complete end-to-end capabilities for both GSM and CDMA operators,” said InterOP Technologies President John Dwyer. “It’s non-proprietary, and fully standards compliant.”
Dwyer added that IOTA DM is a major step forward for carriers in managing device configuration, software updates, WAP settings, retrieving device information and processing events and alarms.
The DM server and handset exchange information over the carrier IP network utilizing an OMA defined XML schema, which is encoded into WBXML, and secured utilizing 128 bit public key encryption techniques. In addition, critical software components, such as firmware upgrade over the air (FOTA), are protected by standards defined challenge and response algorithms to provide a higher level of security. InterOP Technologies has designed the DM platform to operate seamlessly within either a hosted or turnkey model, allowing carriers the maximum deployment flexibility.
