China Unicom Deploys InnoPath’s Integrated Mobile Device Management Solution
Lifecycle Device Management Improves User Experience and Eases Introduction of New Revenue Generating Services
Sunnyvale, California and Beijing, China, 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
