Setting the Standard for Mobile Virtualization
By Jonas Martinsson, Product Manager, Red Bend Software
Mobile virtualization will have a significant impact on how we use mobile phones in the very near future. By applying the same virtualization technology that redefined the cloud server market to the mobile market, interesting new use cases emerge, including:
- Provisioning of enterprise apps and data on a private phone with separate characteristics and secure separation between the personal and business domains
- Manufacturing of sub-$100 Android devices with one single-core processor for both the modem stack and the operating system
- Aggregation of computerized automotive systems, such as in-vehicle infotainment systems, to create a manageable platform for connected cars.

IDC - The Benefits of Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) Technology in the Automotive Industry
As the amount and the complexity of software inside cars increase, so does the need to update the software in order to keep up with new functionality and improvements, not to mention the inevitable software defects that have to be rectified. To help streamline these activities, OEMs can use firmware over-the-air (FOTA) technology to provide software updates throughout a program launch, right up to delivery, and supply perpetual software upgrades and add-ons, either remotely or through dealerships, to enhance the driving experience and build consumer loyalty. This IDC Executive Brief, published August 2011, discusses the benefits the automotive industry can achieve through the use of FOTA.

Case Study and Success Story: FOTA Usage in the United States
Red Bend has published its second report that examines Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) adoption, this time focusing on FOTA Usage in the United States. Among U.S. operators, Sprint leads in adopting FOTA. Sprint is a world pioneer in developing and implementing a device management (DM) strategy according to OMA DM standards. The operator mandates OMA DM and FOTA on all of its device types: smartphones, feature phones, tablets, modems and M2M devices. The experience and knowledge that U.S. operators offer in managing a very successful end-to-end FOTA service can be easily duplicated by other operators around the world. The report provides specific use cases for performing updates by U.S. operators, details the overall consumer experience during the FOTA updating process, and explains why U.S. operators and consumers have a high level of confidence in FOTA. It also outlines the FOTA processes between operators and device manufacturers and the effective techniques for update management.
