InnoPath Heads North – Leading Device Management Client Deployed by LG on Handsets at Canada’s Telus and Bell Mobility
Reduces
operator OPEX and creates a more positive
user experience
SUNNYVALE, Calif., December
2, 2008 - InnoPath Software, the leader
in Mobile Device Management (MDM), today announced
that LG Electronics of Korea, one of the largest
mobile phone makers in the world, has expanded
its use of InnoPath device management for Canada’s
Telus and Bell Mobility. New feature-rich phones
with the InnoPath OMA-DM device management
client include the Telus Keybo, as well as
the Voyager offered by both Telus and Bell
Mobility.
The deployment of the InnoPath
client on these new handsets builds on LG’s
existing North America Tier 1 relationship with
InnoPath. A major supplier of leading-edge mobile
phones worldwide, LG also counts Verizon Wireless,
AT&T and Sprint as major North American operator
partners. For LG, not only was industry-leading
client technology critical, but InnoPath’s
unique operational support capability was also
key. Both wireless operators and handset makers
like LG now consider MDM clients to be strategic
to their business models, helping to reduce operational
expenses while creating a more positive user
experience.
LG, one of the most innovative
handset vendors, continues to gain global market
share based on handset design, feature set, usability,
and reliability. The company is also the first
major device manufacturer to embrace InnoPath’s
breakthrough Port-to-Production (P2P) offering.
This program addresses device maker goals of
accelerated time-to-market for new handsets,
management of costs and the uptake of new high
ARPU handsets with maximum customer satisfaction.
It includes engineering assistance as well as
lab and server resources from initial client
porting through testing, and onto final acceptance
by the wireless operator.
MDM enables the operator’s
care organization to provide better service with
reduced expenses despite increasing device and
service complexity. InnoPath is unique in delivering
a device management solution, which while fully
standards compliant, is also highly flexible,
extensible and quickly implemented. The ROI for
MDM-enabled customer care has been illustrated
in a recent study by the analyst firm Stratecast
which places the annual global operator exposure
at over $25 billion, billions of which may be
saved through MDM. Interested parties can review
