SAN JOSE, Calif. - June 22,
2005 - InnoPath Software,
(formerly DoOnGo Technologies) the
global leader in over-the-air (OTA)
mobile device software management,
today announced that KDDI Corp.,
a leading wireless operator in Japan,
has deployed InnoPath's DeltaUpgrade
Plus end-to-end solution to provide
seamless OTA delivery of advanced
services for KDDI handset users.
The service was launched initially
with handset model W31T and W32SA,
and will be expanded to other new
handset models. With KDDI's rollout,
three major wireless operators in
the United States and Japan have
now commercialized InnoPath's solution
on live wireless networks, managing
over 50 million devices with an additional
2.5 million added every month. InnoPath
is the only end-to-end OTA device
management company actively updating
handset software in commercial deployments.
"InnoPath's reputation and leadership
in the industry makes them the clear
partner to securely deliver over-the-air
solutions to our sophisticated client
base." said Mr. Kimihiko Nakamura,
general manager, Mobile Terminal Development
Department, "au" Service & Product
Planning Division of KDDI Corporation. "With
DeltaUpgrade Plus we can now provide
fast, seamless software updates and
upgrades within several minutes, while
offering our customers increased choice,
control and convenience for their mobile
phone experience."
InnoPath's patented and proven technology
performs updates of firmware faster
and more reliably than other methods.
DeltaUpgrade Plus now enables KDDI
to build upon its unmatched customer
service to its 20 million mobile phone
subscribers by dramatically reducing
the time it takes for customers to
deploy firmware updates in a modular
and flexible architecture. With the
ability to provide instant, seamless
updates to their handset users, KDDI
can also increase customer satisfaction
and loyalty.
In addition, InnoPath is working to
develop and deploy future enhancements,
including remote diagnostics and feature
upgrades such as user interface customization
and anti-virus software downloads.
These strategic applications will drive
significant business value, enabling
wireless operators to quickly identify
and resolve customer issues, improve
the mobile phone user experience, and
increase revenues.
"We are pleased KDDI chose our reliable,
secure, and 100% fault-tolerant end-to-end
OTA device management solution, which
allows both user initiated and server
pushed automatic updates," said Dr.
Luosheng Peng, CEO, chairman and co-founder
of InnoPath Software. "By meeting KDDI's
strict functional, operational, performance,
and quality requirements, this successful
commercial launch of DeltaUpgrade Plus
means InnoPath is further extending
its leadership in the global OTA mobile
device management market."
Leading operators and handset manufacturers
have selected InnoPath's OTA technology
as the preferred carrier-grade mobile
device management solution. InnoPath
is the first OTA device management
company to actively update handset
firmware in commercial deployments,
and has helped to bring the first commercialized
OTA-capable mobile phones to market.
Today, millions of handsets have already
been updated in the hands of subscribers
with update-ready technology provided
by InnoPath. With InnoPath's proven
OTA solution, operators and handset
manufacturers reduce risk, accelerate
time to market for new products and
services, increase customer satisfaction
and retention, lower operating costs,
