InterOP Technologies' Launches IP- based Over-the-Air Device
Management (IOTA DM) Platform
Offers Robust & Complete End-to-End Capabilities for CDMA & GSM
Operators, Non-proprietary, Standards Based 3GPP&3GPP2 Compliant
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 (1) See Object Management Architecture.

"We believe our IOTA DM platform offers the most robust and complete end-to-end capabilities for both GSM and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. 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 WBXML WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) Binary Extended Markup Language WBXML Wireless Binary Xml , and secured utilizing 128 bit public key encryption See public key cryptography. techniques. In addition, critical software components, such as firmware upgrade over the air (FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) The process of updating the firmware in cellphones and other wireless handheld devices by an over-the-air code transfer. Bitfone Corporation (www.bitfone.com) pioneered the technology and was acquired by HP in 2007. ), 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.
