“OMA Vision
No matter what device I have,
No matter what service I want,
No matter what carrier or network I’m using,
I can communicate, access and exchange information.

The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)
An international organization developing open, market driven interoperable specifications for global adoption of mobile data services
Created June 2002 by leading mobile operators, device and network suppliers, information technology companies, content and service providers – the entire mobile value chain
Created by combining many existing smaller industry organizations to work under the OMA umbrella
Approximately 350 OMA member companies represent a global organization with members from all regions
More companies from Korea than any other Asian market 45 current Korean member companies

Convergence is here Multiple network access methods now a reality
Harmonization of user experience will happen in services and applications
Full integration of Internet and Mobile services New services should take advantage of existing functionality, capabilities
and services – not reinventing the wheel Emerging markets will see Internet access for first time users on mobile
devices, not PC’s
Consistent user experience becomes key in services and applications Agnostic of underlying networks Hidden complexity for access methods, such as multi-radio devices Ultimate goal of seamless service access and usability
Fast paced innovation and development increase demand for interoperability and interworking
Equal stake among various elements in end-to-end chain Demand for quality, open specifications enabling interoperable and
conformant implementations
9Copyright 2007Open Mobile Alliance Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
Deployment and adoption demands global standards
OMA delivers open standard specifications, not products
Enabling differentiable services based upon market demand and quality of products and services
Innovation in mobile industry happening ever more rapidly
Consumers expect to access their data services in any market around the globe, regardless of devices or roaming agreements
Key factor in understanding of how mobile, content and IT industries must work together
Innovation in Internet boom drove the development of Web Services and open standards
the same will happen in broad adoption of broadcast services
Standards based solutions provide the framework for rapid deployment of new products and services
Kevin Holley’s Converged IP Messaging presentation will show need for interoperability across messaging platforms as well as development environments for innovation of new services and products

Example of OMA Success - Device Management
Before DM was specified, the only way to configure devices was:In factory
In store
Remotely via Client Provisioning and one-way only configuration
Evolving devices and services created need for remote managementFirmware update
Diagnosis and monitoring
Individual installation of software
Device configuration
Scheduling of all of these tasks
Why standardize these functions?Uniform visibility into the resources and functionality of all devices
Network operators can manage devices, conduct diagnosis and update devices remotely and without direct vendor support
Interoperability directly impacts consumer experience

OMA Approved Enabler Releases for DM
DM 1.2 moved from Candidate to Approved in 6 months, and there are already many implementations in market
89% deployment rate of OMA DM according to major handset vendors around the globe90% deployment rate of OMA DM in operator implementations of DM services
Firmware Update Management Object (FUMO) 1.0 completed Interoperability Testing Program
is an Approved Enabler Release
Significant uptake in deployment and ever increasing industry demand for interoperability in device management
applicable to traditional mobile networks and relevant to corporate IT departments/help desks

Diagnostic Capabilities for Device ManagementDiagnostic Monitoring Object – In OMA Work Program
Detect and repair actual or potential problems
Report faults to network
Enable terminals to measure and report key performance indicators
Query device for additional diagnostic data
Operators or corporate helpdesks can also use the diagnostic enablerInvoke specific repair procedures embedded in a given handset model
Use caseSubscriber reports an error indicator or problem to operator or helpdesk
Customer care server or help desk agent queries device for more information
Cause of error or problem is identified
Action taken to repair or correct

Further Developments in DM
Connectivity Management Object -- In OMA Work ProgramSeamless operation of device over various protocols without manual administration of the device
UMTS, CDMA2000, WiFi3GPP Packet Switch, Proxy settings
Wireless data connectivity Specification of a set of data management object schemaExposure by an OMA DM clientTargeting by an OMA DM server from operator or corporate infrastructure
Software Component Management Object (SCOMO)Operator and corporate IT departments can manage software inventory such as libraries and user interface elements.Allows operators and corporate IT departments to ensure compatibility of old and new software.Remove and update existing software and install new software.

Additional Developments in Device Management
Additional DM Enablers in Early Stage DevelopmentLock and Wipe Management Object – remote deactivation of deviceDevice Capabilities Management Object – activation or deactivation of hardware on the device (e.g. WiFi access or other capabilities)
Smart CardStorage or management objects can be associated with SIM cardUsers can switch between devices and take security and other settings with them from device to device
Device Profiles Evolution -- Interoperability across OMA Work ProgramNot in the OMA DM group, but relatedApplications and services need to address variable network environmentsDifferent devices with wide range of capabilities and features DPE creates enhanced device profiles mechanismAllows devices to convey real time dynamic device properties to an ASPEnable any ASP to provide content best suited to device’s capabilities
such as memory size, cache size, CPU load, battery life

Summary Multiple modes of connection are a reality
Connect and reconnect PC’s and handsets Access data or move content between users and devices Make users and networks more accessible to increasing number
of content, service and application providers Notion of mobile value chain is widening to include new
industries, such as mobile advertising, presented by David Puron No need to reinvent the wheel
Demands of innovation require incorporating what already exists to support interoperability with new devices and services
Mobility is for everyone, everywhere At home, in the office, on the road, consumer and enterprise
applications must work with ever more complex multi-use devices in multiple environments across a variety of networks and regions
Interoperability is the road to convergence and seamless services
