InnoPath Announces Dedicated Team for OMA Standards
Company Demonstrates Leadership in Enabling Interoperability for Handset Users
SAN
JOSE, Calif. - October 13,
2004 - InnoPath Software
(formerly DoOnGo Technologies),
the industry leader in over-the-air
(OTA) mobile device management,
today announced it is dedicating
a team to oversee its work
with the Open Mobile Alliance
(OMA) standards initiatives.
Tom London, InnoPath's Vice
President of Research and Development
along with Greg Buzzard, Director,
Systems Architecture, will
lead the company's efforts
to develop and deliver early-to-market,
OMA compliant solutions.
Buzzard is uniquely qualified
to manage the company's standards
initiatives. Prior to InnoPath,
he worked at industry-leading
technology companies including
SUN Microsystems, BEA Systems
and AT&T, contributing to
the development of technologies
that leveraged standards such
as Web services, XML and SOAP,
and 802.11 and Bluetooth networking.
InnoPath has been an early supporter
of OMA and is a full member of
OMA Device Management Working
Group. InnoPath's proactive steps
and leadership role in enabling
interoperability will allow wireless
operators and handset manufacturers
to offer consumers a significantly
enriched user experience. As
part of its OMA standards initiatives,
a global wireless operator is
conducting an ongoing trial of
InnoPath's update-ready device
management solution.
"InnoPath is committed to providing
its customers with the most open
framework for delivering advanced
mobile data services," said Dr.
Luosheng Peng, CEO and co-founder
of InnoPath. "We believe OMA
standards will enable us to develop
and deliver OMA-compliant OTA
capabilities for the fastest
and most efficient, update-ready
software updates for mobile handsets."
OMA is currently in the process
of reviewing proposed technical
specifications for interoperable
mobile application and service
frameworks, which are expected
to be agreed upon over the next
few months. The agreement
of technical specification standards
will enable deployment of rich
mobile applications and services
that are interoperable across
devices, geographies, service
providers, operators and networks
-- removing barriers to global
adoption and use.
