InnoPath Software, the leader in Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, enables wireless carriers and mobile device manufacturers to deliver and support current and future revenue producing services with the reliability, simplicity, and value of a proven utility. The company offers a complete end-to-end Integrated Mobile Device Management solution consisting of both the server and a standard-based client.

InnoPath understands the carrier's need to grow consumer and enterprise data ARPU by reducing time-to-market for new, compelling services, minimizing ongoing customer support costs and encouraging new service uptake through discovery. InnoPath accomplishes this through commercial, revenue-generating deployments that prove the strategic value of MDM to the carrier. InnoPath's server and client solutions are deployed at carriers including Cingular, KDDI, Sprint, and Softbank Mobile, and device manufacturers including Kyocera, LG, NEC, P&C, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony Ericsson and Toshiba.

As part of Innopath's commitment to its Tier 1 customers, the company has in-house expertise permitting it to work with carriers through all phases of MDM deployment, including planning, systems integration, commissioning, and ongoing support. This expertise results in trust, critical as MDM takes on a strategic role within the carriers business.

Proof Points

• InnoPath has successfully commercialized every carrier evaluation in its history, and is deployed at multiple Tier-1 operators including Cingular, Sprint, KDDI, and Softbank.

• InnoPath has successfully conducted tens of millions of over-the-air transactions and firmware upgrades without a single failure in the field. The company pioneered the field with the world's first FOTA deployment in Japan.

• InnoPath's MDM platform serves a total carrier subscriber base of over 255 million users, over 200 handset models, and more than 80 million devices. It holds over 90% of the MDM market share in Japan, and over 80% in North America.

Products and Technology

InnoPath's industry leading iMDM suite, built upon years of Tier 1 deployment experience with its MDM and DUOS servers, provides carriers with a strategic platform upon which they may deploy a complete set of MDM applications. The server component includes configuration and provisioning, firmware updates, remote diagnostics, security management, software management, and interfaces to enterprise device management. One of the more powerful capabilities of InnoPath's iMDM suite is the ability to create a workflow, merging together a set of actions such as firmware and configuration updates. This ability is one of the major advantages of a single, integrated, platform rather than relying on a set of standalone applications from separate vendors.

For the client, InnoPath is unique in being able to offer the carrier the choice of a standards-based OMA compliant server and client, or alternatively, providing the carrier with a single, turnkey solution where the standards do not yet offer the set of features required or where the carrier wishes to focus its efforts on areas other than server-client interoperability.

The Market Opportunity

Although carriers have only recently deployed MDM in production networks, the financial advantages in terms of reduced OPEX and data ARPU growth are apparent. With most mid-range and high-end handsets FOTA-enabled, carriers now have a client base of critical mass to make MDM a necessity. In 2007 carriers will save over $2.7B globally in reduced operational expenses through MDM-enabled configuration, diagnostics, and upgrades (Strategy Analytics). Revenues enabled through MDM though quicker service uptake could equal or exceed that number. These compelling financials will result in an MDM vendor server opportunity of over $1.1B by 2011 (Visiongain), separate from any handset revenues or service revenue sharing. Over time, 75% of the thousand or so operators worldwide are expected to deploy MDM.
