The InnoPath iMDM Device Suite is a standards-based
client solution that makes any mobile device MDM-ready.
InnoPath iMDM devices are interoperable with InnoPath’s
iMDM Carrier Suite, as well as any other standards-based
MDM server. MDM permits OEMs to:
- Achieve faster time-to-market with new devices
- Prevent costly and disruptive device recalls
- Reduce customer service and warranty costs
- Improve brand loyalty and customer satisfaction
InnoPath offers both a server and client solution, which
when deployed together, results in an end-to-end life cycle
solution for mobile device management. Deployment is fast
and cost effective because no additional integration is
required to make the client/server solution work smoothly.
The company provides ease of integration for OEMs through
a comprehensive set of porting tools, support & IOT
services, rigorous end-to-end testing, and development
servers.
The client has been deployed on over 100 million handsets
spanning over 175 unique devices from leading OEMs including
Samsung, LG, NEC, Sanyo, Sharp, Toshiba, Pantech & Curitel,
KTFK, SKY, Kyocera, Sony Ericsson, and Casio Hitachi Mobile.
It supports major OS platforms including the multiple versions
of RTOSs found on feature phones as well as Linux, Symbian,
BREW, and Windows Mobile.

Standards-based client applications, matched to the server,
include firmware management, configuration and diagnostics
management, security management, and software and UI management.

| Configuration and Diagnostics Management |
- An engine capable of sending data from the handset
to the server for analysis as well as changing
the configuration settings of the handset
- Data is delivered over the air (OTA) and can
be sent to a single or fleet of devices
- Commonly used to provision applications and
services as well as the device itself and diagnose
problems
- Diagnostics is generally managed within two categories;
Configuration and Event Diagnostics
|
Configuration:
- Enable OEMs to sell more devices by enabling
easy support of services
- Enable OEMs to provide a better user experience
by helping users to avoid manually managing their
own application and service settings
- Protecting customer information by providing
a secure method of sending valuable user and device
data
- Carriers have the flexibility to enable and
disable features and services as needed
- Reduce customer support and activation costs
Diagnostics:
- Enable OEMs to provide a better user experience
by enabling the carrier to quickly and easily resolve
configuration and service issues
- Carriers can reduce CSR call handling times
by resolving issues faster
- User privacy is always protected through regulatory
and privacy policy enforcement (limiting liability)
- Reduced support costs through automated (or
manual) retrieval of handset data
|
Diagnostics Manager:
- Client/Server Authentication
- Policy Download
- Updates New Policies and Logs Results
- Sends Reports to Server
- Data/Pipe Encryption
- Update Any Portion of the DM Tree
- Server Agnostic
Configuration Diagnostics:
- Gathering data for in real time repairing a
subscriber’s handset
Diagnostic Event Monitoring:
- Can log complex errors and events and upload to the
InnoPath server
|
| Security Management |

device and providing a large number of additional
security functions (e.g. alarms and battery drain)
- Supports both OEM and Carrier security initiatives
- Built around OMA standards (OMA DM)
|
- Protect valuable user data with a carrier/enterprise
grade security engine
- OEMs enable a positive consumer product experience
by enabling protection around user data
- Carriers create stickiness by protecting user
data during their hour of need
|

applications to and from the device while adhering
to licensing requirements
- Enables the user to memory manage their device
- Applications can be configured following their
introduction to the device
- Built around OMA standards (OMA DM, SCOMO)
|
- Creates a “PC-like” experience on
a mobile device
- OEMs can easily add applications to a device
after shipment
- OEMs create stickiness to their devices by improving
ease of use around application deployment
- Carriers can create additional points of sale
to increase ARPU
- UIs can be sold to drive ARPU
- OEMs can crease additional UIs to sell after
the handset ships (Additional Revenue)
|
- Strong Authentication With Server
- Enforce license restrictions and carrier application
policies
- Portal, Device and Carrier driven software management
