Product Description

Openwave Mobile Device Manager perfects the user experience by taking over-the-air device management to the next level by eliminating the need to manually enter data, call customer care for updates and repairs, or port information to other phones. MDM provides uninterrupted access to users’ data via invisible maintenance and data restoration features-making service differentiation execution quick and reliable.

Market Opportunity

According to IDC [U.S. Consumer Wireless Subscriber 2004-2008 Forecast in March 2004 by Scott Ellison] new data services have resulted in an “everyone has it” effect, whereby wireless is now an accepted form of standard communication, with penetration [in the US] having surpassed 50%. The total number of wireless subscribers is approximately 164.7M [IDC]. There is a handsome market opportunity for innovations designed to invisibly add new data services or transport any kind of mobile data from old handset to new handset.

Openwave provides a next-generation platform for over-the-air software and data management, enabling carriers to deliver new functionality to mobile handsets reliably and without disruption of the user experience. Openwave’s Mobile Device Manager is a model for other software and service providers to emulate in a service-based computing environment.”
