Red Bend Software, a provider of mobile software management (MSM) services, has announced that Fujitsu Microelectronics has licensed Red Bend’s standards-based device management (DM) software for its WiMax SoC and WiMax chipsets.
Under the agreement, Fujitsu has pre-integrated Red Bend’s device management software in its WiMax SoC and chipset platform to enable its customers to implement device management in their WiMax-enabled products.
Red Bend’s Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DM software is used to provision new subscribers, configure applications and network settings, manage software and retrieve device information over the air. It has been deployed across multiple platforms, operating systems and memory types on mobile phones, wireless devices and machine-to-machine (M2M) modules.
Red Bend’s DM client is interoperable with DM servers supporting standards from the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), including the WiMax Management Object used by the WiMax Forum and adopted by WiMax operators worldwide.
Kazuhiro Abe, president of Red Bend Software Japan KK, said: This agreement with Fujitsu Microelectronics represents the first WiMax deal for Red Bend in Japan, and continues the rapid adoption of our device management solution by WiMax chipset vendors, device manufacturers and operators worldwide.
