Support for Device Management in Mobile Handsets: 2008-2011 (4Q09 update) Published by Ovum, June 28, 2010

This is the eighth iteration of a series of quarterly studies, which now includes data as of 4Q09. It includes the findings of Ovum's previous quarterly study on 1Q09, which was published in May 2010.

Support for MDM technologies in mobile handsets gives mobile service providers a much-increased degree of control over the device fleet. Key applications of MDM include remote configuration, defect fixing, diagnostics, inventory retrieval, and software management.

Ovum tracks three key MDM technologies: OMA client provisioning (OMA CP); OMA device management (OMA DM); and firmware over-the-air (FOTA) update.

The market for FOTA client technology is evolving; Ovum's research shows that previously most manufacturers worked with more than one vendor. However, manufacturers are now rationalizing FOTA support within their handset portfolios and increasingly selecting a single preferred vendor to work with.

Red Bend has continued to increase its market share, at the expense of other vendors. In addition, the company has replaced some OEMs' in-house FOTA technology. Red Bend increased its market share throughout 2009 and has continued this trend in the fourth quarter of 2009 by increasing its share of shipments to 71%, giving the company 64% of the installed base of FOTA-enabled handsets. Red Bend's FOTA client is now used by the top five handset vendors, as well as with a number of vendors in Japan.
