China Unicom Deploys InnoPath's Integrated Mobile Device Management Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & BEIJING-(Business Wire)-January 31, 2008 - China Unicom, the second largest mobile operator in the world, has selected InnoPath's Integrated Mobile Device Management (iMDM) solution for firmware-over-the-air updates (FOTA), advanced customer care, and security. These mobile device management applications will be tied together through iMDM's unique workflow capability, permitting China Unicom to adapt the solution on-the-fly to its business processes. This deployment is a testament to the scalability, stability, and Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM) standards compliance of InnoPath's server platform.
"As the China Unicom subscriber base has grown and we have enhanced the sophistication of our value added service offerings, we see a growing need for Mobile Device Management," said Mr.Liu Ninnin, GM of Telecom Products at Neusoft, the system integrator. "After a thorough evaluation, we chose InnoPath integrated mobile device management due to its maturity and reliability. By integrating InnoPath technology into their network, China Unicom will be able to provide subscribers with complete handset lifecycle management, ensuring a better user experience while at the same time easing the introduction of new revenue generating services."
China Unicom has upwards of 150 million subscribers. Most analysts predict China to be one of the fastest growing regions for mobile growth and investment in the coming years based on upward mobility and the availability of highly functional low-cost handsets. The ability to properly serve this new subscriber base in a cost-effective way is critical to operator success. China Unicom is therefore embracing mobile device management, as the technology evolves from FOTA to providing a platform for new capabilities such as security and customer care.
"We are pleased to have been selected by China Unicom to provide our next generation Mobile Device Management solution," said Uday Nagendran, Vice President, APAC for InnoPath. "With explosive growth in subscribers in one of the fastest growing international regions for mobile communications, service delivery is becoming exponentially more complex. China Unicom will now be well positioned to manage this complexity as more low-cost, feature-rich handsets combined with new services emerge in the market."
InnoPath is unique in its ability to offer the network operator a pre-integrated server and client Mobile Device Management solution, in addition to third-party interoperability via Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA-DM) standards. The company expects Customer Care, Enterprise Device Management, and ease of deployment through wider adoption of OMA-DM standards to be major drivers for MDM growth throughout 2008. InnoPath's server is deployed at major operators including AT&T, KDDI, Sprint, and Verizon. Client deployments include Foxconn, Kyocera, LG, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic, Pantech, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony Ericsson, and Toshiba.
InnoPath will be demonstrating its end-to-end MDM solution, including customer care, security management, and lifecycle application management at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Feb 11-14. Additional information is available at www.innopath.com.
