Red Bend's vDirect
Mobile™ device management (DM) software is the industry's leading
independent DM client that is interoperable with any DM server
supporting standards from the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). It enables
faster time to market for mobile devices that must comply with
standards-based device management. This agreement builds upon the
successful implementation of vDirect Mobile with Intel-embedded WiMAX
chipsets announced in February 2009.
Deployed in tens of millions of mobile devices worldwide, vDirect Mobile
is used to provision new subscribers, configure applications and network
settings, manage software and deploy firmware-over-the-air (FOTA)
updates. It is the first DM client to support the WiMAX Management
Object used by the WiMAX Forum.
"Expanding our relationship with Intel from WiMAX to handhelds
demonstrates the value that Red Bend's expertise in software updating
and device management brings to our customers and their product
offerings," said Yoram Salinger, CEO of Red Bend Software. "Our ability
to work on any type of mobile device and with any mobile platform gives
us the flexibility to create a standards-based OMA-DM solution to meet
our customers' specific requirements."
"The Intel Atom processor is accelerating innovation in the mobile space
as devices become increasingly faster and smarter," said Pankaj Kedia,
director of global ecosystem programs in Intel Corporation's Ultra
Mobility Group. "Red Bend's device management solution will make it
easier and more cost-effective to manage Intel Atom-based handhelds and
smartphones."
Intel licensed vDirect Mobile for use in its WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350, which
was embedded in new laptops based on Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor
Technology. For details, read the following press release: Red Bend
