Posted on: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:00:00 EDT
INTC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Mformation(R) Technologies Inc., the market leader in advanced mobile
device management (MDM) software, today announced that UQ has
successfully launched its WiMAX service, which is powered by the
MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER(TM) device management platform. Mformation is
providing seamless device management capabilities for WiMAX-capable
mobile devices as part of the rollout of UQ's WiMAX-based services. The
UQ venture includes KDDI and Intel
Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC).
UQ expects to cover all major cities by the end of 2010 and aims to
provide WiMAX coverage to 90 percent of the country by 2012.
Advanced device management ensures that WiMAX-capable devices can be
remotely activated and provisioned irrespective of their source,
ensuring that they work seamlessly and deliver an enhanced mobile
Internet experience. "Advanced device management is fundamental to
ensuring that our WiMAX services work seamlessly and provide a great
user experience," said Toshikazu Yokai, General Manager, Network
Technology Department of UQ Communications. "The Mformation solution was
important to our overall strategy to support live commercial WiMAX
services. Under a tight deadline, the device management solution has
been delivered to power the WiMAX service. The ability to remotely
activate, manage and support any WiMAX device -- regardless of where it
is purchased -- will create a compelling proposition for users and a
truly open mobile marketplace, allowing customers to purchase their own
devices and activate them where, when and how they choose."
WiMAX will deliver a significant boost to the mobile Internet, allowing
users to access advanced data applications and personal content from
anywhere in the WiMAX coverage area, on any WiMAX-enabled device at
broadband speed. Mformation has built up significant experience of
supporting devices over all-IP 4G technologies with unparalleled device
support -- Mformation supports more than 2,500 different devices across
any mobile network type. Mformation's integrated MDM platform is
continually evolving to support new network types, devices and
value-added services. Mformation's deep experience with the OMA DM
protocol and leadership role in managing OMA DM devices are especially
critical to the seamless management of WiMAX-based devices, which use
this protocol. With Mformation, the devices in the subscribers' hands
are always configured and working optimally.
"Delivery for UQ under a very tight deadline required seamless
coordination between CTC and Mformation. We look forward to supporting
further initiatives with UQ going forward," said Junichi Maruta, General
Manager, Telecom Systems Planning Division of CTC. CTC is a leading
system integrator in Japan and is undertaking the systems integration
role for this program.
"Working with UQ on this very important mobile broadband initiative is
great validation of the power of our comprehensive MDM platform," said
Mark Edwards, CEO for Mformation. "UQ Communications had very demanding
requirements; we have consistently demonstrated our ability to support
these requirements as UQ Communications moves forward with its
aggressive plans for rollout of WiMAX-based services. We look forward to
continuing our support for UQ on this critical initiative."
