Wireless Week: OTA Matures
Over-the-air (OTA) provisioning has been around for years, but the speed at which handset makers are incorporating various versions of the technology may come as a surprise.
These days, you can expect most phones are shipping with some kind of over-the-air (OTA) technology built in, but you might not know which flavor it is. To get an idea of what’s what, 34% of handsets shipped worldwide in the second quarter of 2007 supported FOTA, up from 28% in the first quarter, according to Ovum. OMA CP was supported in 45% of handsets, and OMA DM was supported in 23% of handsets shipped. Industry insiders generally agree that OMA DM is emerging as the standard that will replace the legacy OMA CP. Even the CDMA camp, which historically used IOTA, or Internet-based OTA, is moving toward OMA DM.
