Mformation Adds OMA DM Over-the-Air Firmware Update Management (FOTA) Capabilities to its mFormation SERVICE MANAGER Suite

MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER Suite now provides the most comprehensive standards-based support for Wireless Device Management, including Firmware Updates

Edison, NJ September 21, 2004 - mFormation® Technologies Inc. (http://www.mformation.com), the leading provider of comprehensive wireless device and service management solutions, today announced the addition of complete support for Over-the-Air Firmware Management (FOTA) to its MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER ™ suite, in full compliance with Open Mobile Alliance Device Management (OMA DM) standards.

Previously mFormation successfully participated in interoperability testing at the OMA Test Fest held May 24-27, 2004 in Richardson, Texas, USA. The test, conducted by OMA, established interoperability between the mFormation server and OMA DM clients from several major wireless data device and service vendors. The majority of phones to be shipped in future are expected to be OMA DM compliant.

MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER is a comprehensive suite of software products that provides over-the-air configuration of wireless device and service settings, remote device diagnostics, and software and firmware updates. With FOTA support, the product can be used by mobile operators to support firmware updates independently of the vendor providing them.

“Network operators are realizing that they need to manage a variety of firmware clients being chosen by the different handset vendors. They need one solution that can work with the different vendors’ update clients and delta technologies. mFormation provides an overarching management solution, complete with the automation, scheduling, diagnostics and security necessary to meet the challenge of firmware updating with a superior managed solution. mFormation is not encumbered with our own competing update technology for generating the firmware deltas, and can therefore support all the firmware vendors in the industry,” said Mark Edwards, mFormation’s CEO.
