Phone.com Mobile Management Server (MMS) Provides a One-Stop Provisioning Center for WAP Handsets, Gateways and Applications
NEW ORLEANS, CTIA Wireless 2000, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Phone.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: PHCM - news), a leading provider of WAP-based mobile Internet software and services, today introduced the Mobile Management Server (MMS) 1.0, the first WAP-based system for over-the-air provisioning of wireless handsets. Wireless network operators can use MMS to securely provision their WAP gateways, applications, and handsets across multiple airlink standards including GSM, CDMA, TDMA, and PDC. MMS utilizes WAP's WTLS secure protocol to communicate with the handset, and implements a Trusted Provisioning Domain mechanism to authenticate the MMS to the handset.
MMS enables network operators to remotely alter the specific software settings and configurations of handsets after they have been sold. With this feature, operators gain the flexibility to make updates to key business parameters in the handset. For example, in CDMA networks, operators can update roaming lists that define which networks to use when a handset is operating outside of its home network. With this feature, operators have more flexibility to establish new roaming agreements and update their handsets in real-time to take advantage of better roaming rates. |
