InnoPath’s Leading Mobile Device Management Client Deployed by Pantech across Multiple Tier 1 Operators
Attests to the flexibility and performance of InnoPath Device Management
Sunnyvale,
California, October 28, 2008 –
InnoPath Software, the leader in Mobile Device Management (MDM), announced
that Pantech has deployed the company’s leading OMA-DM client in phones
at three new leading operators in three countries – AT&T, KDDI, and
KTF. These deployments, across both GSM and CDMA networks, speak to the universality,
performance, and interoperability of InnoPath’s client technology. Greater
client availability facilitates MDM deployment, and MDM is one of the few technologies
operators have at their disposal to drive costs out of their networks while
maintaining customer satisfaction. This capability is even more top-of-mind
in the current economic environment.
Leading Pantech handsets featuring InnoPath
device management include AT&T’s easy
to use C520 ‘Breeze’, the C610, a
compact flip-phone and the C740 ‘Matrix’,
a dual slider qwerty texting phone. In Korea,
KTF’s unique U300K ‘Neon-Sign’ and
in Japan KDDI’s compact slider W61PT and the
simple, stylish W62PT also ship with InnoPath
device management clients on board. “Pantech’s
growing relationship with InnoPath is evidence
of our ability to deliver leading technology
as well as provide operational support,” said
Terry Hartsfield, InnoPath’s Vice President
of Operations. “As wireless operators the
world over embrace MDM as strategic for customer
care, InnoPath’s flexible client and in-country
capabilities will prove to be major differentiators.”
InnoPath’s server and client technology
is coupled with its unique Port-to-Production
(P2P) program for handset manufacturers.
InnoPath works hand-in-hand with OEMs such as
Pantech from initial client port, through testing
until final acceptance by the wireless operator.
P2P goals include accelerated time-to-market
of new devices, management of costs, and ultimately
heightened uptake of new high ARPU services and
maximum customer satisfaction. In addition, the
ROI for MDM-enabled customer care has been proven
in a recent study by the analyst firm Stratecast
which places the annual global operator exposure
at over $25 billion, much of which may be saved
through MDM. Interested parties can review a

Pantech has a strong history of mobile phone
innovation, having introduced the world’s
first CDMA mobile phone in 1994. The company
is now a leader in both CDMA and GSM devices,
spanning both featurephones as well as Windows
Mobile smartphones. The company supplies mobile
phones to operators in North America, Asia, Europe,
and Latin America.
