DoOnGo and Intel to Jointly Develop Flexible API for Optimizing Over-the-Air Mobile Device Software Management
Proven, Update-Ready Solution to Deliver Over-the-Air Software and Firmware Updates for SANYO Mobile Handsets
San Jose, CA, USA; June
1, 2004 - DoOnGo
Technologies, the industry
leader in over-the-air (OTA)
mobile device software management,
today announced that Intel
Corporation, the world's largest
chip maker and a leading manufacturer
of computer, networking and
communications products, will
work together with DoOnGo to
develop a cellular OTA Application
Programming Interface (API)
specification for Intel's Flash
Memory products. The jointly
developed API will optimize
DoOnGo's breakthrough DeltaUpgrade™ Client
OTA technology to work with
the Intel StrataFlash® memory
and software. Benefits to mobile
device manufacturers include
faster time-to-market and cost
savings through deploying OTA
capabilities in mobile devices.
"Intel StrataFlash® Memory
is an excellent solution for
the growing manageability needs
of cellular devices," said Peter
Van Deventer, Director of Marketing,
Flash Products Group. "This OTA
API will help reduce total cost
of ownership and improve reliability
for carriers and cellular OEMs."
DeltaUpgrade Client is one of
the core technologies comprising
DoOnGo's DeltaUpgrade, an end-to-end,
OTA wireless software upgrade
and management platform. The
solution enables wireless network
operators and mobile device manufacturers
to provide their wireless users
with the latest software delivery
of new features and services.
DeltaUpgrade Client's flexible
architecture enables device manufacturers
to choose their own implementation
methods. Extensive failure recovery
mechanisms are built into the
DeltaUpgrade Client residing
in the handset or other mobile
device. The DeltaUpgrade Client
can recover from any potential
failures caused by networks,
handsets or users.
In addition to the agreement
to co-develop an API for OTA,
the Intel Communications Fund
invested in DoOnGo. This strategic
investment program is one of
the largest worldwide corporate
venture programs investing in
the technology segment. Financial
terms of the investment are not
being disclosed.
"Working with Intel to develop
a flexible API for OTA and gaining
new funding from Intel for future
product development is a strategic
win for DoOnGo," said Dr. Luosheng
Peng, CEO, chairman and Co-Founder
of DoOnGo Technologies. "Both
companies recognize the importance
of offering mobile device customers
the most advanced technology
on the market for enabling fast,
over-the-air memory updates.
We look forward to building this
important relationship with Intel."
DoOnGo's Mobile Intelligence
product suite consists of DeltaRewrite™,
the world's most efficient point-of-service
and portal rewrite software,
and DeltaUpgrade™, the
industry's leading OTA software
management and upgrade system,
enabling wireless carriers and
mobile device manufacturers to
conveniently and continuously
provide the latest software upgrades
of new features and services
to their customers.
