Open Mobile Alliance

Open Approach to the Mobile Industry



• Broad representation of over 250 companies and organizations across the value chain – operators, wireless vendors, information technology, and content/media/financial companies

• The Location Interoperability Forum (LIF), SyncML Initiative, MMS-IOP (Multimedia Messaging Interoperability Process) and Wireless Village Initiative are in the process of moving thier work and members to Open Mobile Alliance

• Mobile Games Interoperability Forum (MGIF) and Mobile Wireless Internet Forum (MWIF) are also moving forward with joining

Open Mobile Alliance – Making the difference

• Accelerates innovation and speeds time to market of new services and applications

• Promote industry wide adoption of open standards over proprietary alternatives

• Decreased operational costs for all involved by improving industry effiencies

• Delivery of specifications based on mobile services use case scenarios and open standards

• Creation and promotion of a common architectural framework

• All key industry segments involved in specification work

• Focus on improving the end user experience by providing end-to-end and multi-standard interoperabilty

• Companies committed to the implementation of the open standards and IOP testing

Why is thisdifferent?

Principles of the Open Mobile Alliance

• Products and services are based on open, global standards, protocols and interfaces and are not locked to proprietary technologies

• The applications layer is bearer agnostic (examples: GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS)

• The architecture framework and service enablers are independent of Operating Systems (OS)

• Applications and platforms are interoperable, providing seamless geographic and inter-generational roaming

Principles


• Deliver responsive and high-quality open standards and specifications based upon market and customer requirements

• Establish centers of excellence for best practices and conduct interoperability testing (IOT), including multi-standard interoperability to ensure seamless user experience

• Create and promote common industry view on an architectural framework

• Be the catalyst for the consolidation of standards fora; working in conjunction with other existing standards organizations and groups such as IETF, 3GPP, 3GPP2, W3C, JCP

OMA since June 12 Start

• Expanded membership to more than 250 companies across the mobile services value chain

• Initial Organizational and Process in place

• Technical Plenary established and organized

• Workgroups established with Charter updates Nov. 11

• Continuous delivery of open specifications, such as OMA Download Feature Set

• Next Plenary Nov. 11 - 15

• Technical Plenary Leadership Elections

• Finalization of new Processes

• New and Expanded WorkGroups Proposals including Device Management and DRM

• Proposals for Liaisons including ”Openness”


• Enhance Interoperability Processes

• Release new Specifications, such as

– E-mail notification,

– Scripting language for browsing environment,

– Multimedia Messaging MMS • Expanded Cooperation with the other specification and

standards organizations

Towards Q4 2002


• Global technology agnostic applications

• Common API’s independent of access technologies

• Application layer and services independent of transport layers.

• Consolidated service requirement

• Consistent applications

• Consistent interoperability

• Consistent / common specifications

Overall Benefits


• Close relationship between OMA and 3GPP2 utilizing work group liaisons

• New work on application/application enabler development which could be radio and core network independent analyzed inside OMA.

• Radio and core network specific enablers required to support OMA applications should be developed by 3GPP

• No changes to radio and core network development – continues within 3GPP

Principals for cooperation


• Consider:

• 3GPP2 / OMA Complimentary Relationship

• Sharing requirements among organizations

• Coordination between organizations towards global applications and services

• Sharing of common service specifications

• Creation of Open Liaison Arrangement

• Proposals and Review by Plenary & Board at November meeting

• Liaisons can occur now awaiting final process approvals

Moving Forward
