TOKYO, July 30, 2007—Red Bend Software Japan K.K. (located in Chiyoda
Ward, Tokyo; President Kazuhiro Abe), the market leader in Mobile
Software Management and Firmware-Over-the-Air (FOTA) update solutions
for mobile phones and wireless modules, today announced a licensing
agreement with SANYO® Electric to use Red Bend’s device management
client software suite in mobile phones manufactured by SANYO.
Under the agreement, SANYO has licensed Red Bend’s RDM™ client suite – an Open
Mobile Alliance (OMA) Device Management (DM) compliant and interoperable solution
for mobile phones and wireless devices – for its CDMA mobile phones. The Red Bend
DM client suite allows mobile operators and handset manufacturers to remotely
manage mobile devices in the field. It is standards-based software that works
with any OMA DM server to enable remote configuration, provisioning, diagnostics
and updating of mobile phones over the air (OTA).
Takaaki Ueyama, Section Manager for telecom software development at SANYO Electric,
explained, “Red Bend’s OMA DM client can be used with any OMA DM compliant server,
and we feel that flexibility is crucial. Red Bend’s solution will make it possible
for consumers to use their mobile phones with confidence.”
Red Bend’s portfolio of mobile software management solutions enables mobile phone
manufacturers and network operators to deploy new services, reduce support costs
and improve consumer satisfaction. Its vCurrent® Mobile software for firmware
over-the-air (FOTA) updating allows mobile consumers to download and install the
latest software features and improvements directly to their mobile phone, without
visiting a service center.
“The adoption of our software by a cutting-edge mobile phone manufacturer like
SANYO demonstrates Red Bend’s growing market momentum, particularly with CDMA
operators,” said Kazuhiro Abe, President of Red Bend Software Japan K.K. “Our
laser focus on managing software assets inside the device, combined with our record
of innovation and performance, has made Red Bend a trusted partner for realizing
the business value in over-the-air mobile software management.”
