How it Works

Red Bend's vDirect Mobile™ allows manufacturers and operators to remotely manage mobile devices in the field. vDirect Mobile is standards-based software that works with any Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) device management (DM) server. As the leading independent DM client, vDirect Mobile enables operators and manufacturers to break the dependency of closed DM systems.

The vDirect Mobile architecture consists of three conceptual layers which together provide the full DM client.

The lower layer provides the platform integration to the operating system. Currently vDirect mobile can support integration with the following OSes: Android, AMSS, BREW, WIN32, Qt (formerly QTOPIA) and Nucleus (TI).

The RDM is Red Bend's OMA-DM/DL library with a small footprint, implemented in C and with an unlimited number of object types and tree structures.

The upper layer supports use cases needed for the entire lifecycle of the mobile device/wireless module such as: provisioning, configuration, diagnostics and device information retrieval.
