innoPath Software announced today that its over-the-air (OTA) client
technology, which is part of innoPath’s mobileUpdate solution, has been
selected by Qualcomm Incorporated for pre-integration onto select
Snapdragon™ processors, starting with the Snapdragon S1 MSM7x27A™
processor running Android.
An integral part of innoPath’s mobileUpdate solution is innoPath’s
update client technology, which is compliant with OMA-DM FUMO standards
and leverages secure package signing. Pre-integration of this client
technology, which is compromised of innoPath’s update agent and OMA-DM
client, in select Snapdragon processors will allow device manufacturers
and mobile operators, who select the innoPath mobileUpdate solution, to
more effectively and efficiently implement an OTA solution.
The innoPath mobileUpdate solution can be used by device manufacturers
and mobile operators to push firmware and software updates, including
new operating system versions, the latest fixes and security patches,
directly to subscriber devices. In order to implement the innoPath
mobileUpdate solution, OEMs and mobile operators will also need to
obtain the innoPath Delta Manager tool, along with certain other
cloud-based hosted services, from innoPath.
“As our mobile world continues to evolve and grow, market leaders
realize that the user experience and manageability of mobile devices is
a key differentiator for success. This is why we offer the mobileUpdate
solution to our customers, to better enable them to meet the needs of
twenty-first century mobility by allowing them to deliver new
functionality, along with the latest fixes and security patches, to
their devices in short time frames,” said John Fazio, President and CEO
of innoPath. “By integrating innoPath’s client technology onto select
Snapdragon processors, we make it easier for more mobile operators and
device manufacturers to access our mobileUpdate solution, thereby
providing them with a quicker path for a more reliable and easy way to
update their devices over-the-air.”
“Integration of hardware, software and key services enable Qualcomm to
deliver complete platform solutions to our customers. Providing access
to an over-the-air solution gives mobile operators and device
manufactures better control of device updates,” said Jeff Lorbeck,
Senior Vice President of Product Management at Qualcomm. “innoPath
provides the technology both on the client for pre-integration on select
Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, as well as on the server for deployment
of firmware and software updates.”
Snapdragon processors incorporating the innoPath update client
technology are expected to ship to device manufacturers in the first
half of 2012.
