Problem Statement
Exponential growth in consumer-facing application.
M2M applications poised to explode
Will drive order-of-magnitude increases in bandwidth
consumption and provisioning and control actions.
Many applications are poorly adapted for the constraints
posed by wireless networks.
But wireless is essential in bridging the digital divide
especially in rural areas.
Protocols that manage the services and devices efficiently
are essential if the promise of untethered applications is to
be fulfilled.
How do mobile operators deploy networks that efficiently
serve populated areas with their onslaught of M2M devices
as well as rural areas that need both high speed data and
M2M services?
Bangalore, India ,17-18 December 2012

Standardization
Standards Development
Organizations play an important role
in development of efficient protocols.
They are the one place where the
technical merits of a particular
approach can be debated and
decided by the relevant body of
operators and suppliers – where all
come together with an equal voice.

OMA – Mission and Background
The mission of the Open Mobile Alliance is to
facilitate global user adoption of mobile data
services by specifying market driven mobile service
enablers that ensure service interoperability across
devices, geographies, service providers, operators,
and networks while allowing businesses to compete
through innovation and differentiation.
Founded in June 2002
Telecommunications Operators,
Telecommunications Equipment, Terminal and
Software vendors, Content providers and ICT
companies with members evenly represented from
Europe, Asia, and the Americas

Device Management (DM) Use Case
Device Management performs the following operations
on Devices that have already been deployed in the
market:
Call Centre!
How can I help
you?
•Provisioning of configurations for services supported by the
device,
•Remove, install and activate Software Components,
•Update Firmware on faulty devices,
•Perform Diagnostics and Monitoring operations on the
devices

DM Adoption on a global scale
More than 60 Management Objects have
been registered by OMA Working Groups
More than 30 Management Objects from
other SDOs
3GPP, ETSI, WiMax Forum among them
A Management Object is a
data model that is used in
conjunction with OMA DM
to allow both server and
client to perform certain
functions while being
agnostic to vendor
implementations.

Commercial DM Deployment on a
Global Scale
OMA has achieved commercial
deployment of 1.4 Billion devices
implementing the Firmware Update

DM in M2M related OMA activities
In addition to OMA DM (v 1.3), several OMA
Enablers, already developed or under
specification, may fit in M2M scenarios in
different ways.
OMA DM 1.3 Profiling (specifically for M2M context)
OMA DM 2.0 (next generation RESTful based DM
Protocol)
Lightweight M2M (protocol for service delivery and
management of constrained device)
OMA DM Gateway (for managing device through a
Gateway)
OMA CPNS, OMA SUPL, the Device API Program, …

OMA and oneM2M
OMA collaborated with ETSI TC M2M during the
specification of ETSI M2M Release 1:
OMA DM is natively included in the Functional
Architecture and several Management Objects
have been specified.
OMA, in the very best interest of collaboration,
harmonization and coordination, welcomes
oneM2M Global Initiative.
OMA is a oneM2M Partner Type 2 and actively
participating in oneM2M activities

M2M and Rural Broadband
Rural broadband:
Bridges the digital divide
Benefits various M2M applications, such as:
Agriculture: what crops to plant and where to sell
Weather forecasts/trends
Right price for the goods: some Kenyan farmers sell
directly to American market through EarthMarketplace
bypassing the distributor
Remote healthcare and monitoring
Helps sustainable rural social, economic, cultural,
and educational developments, and hence
Helps rural communities achieve economic selfsufficiency.
Bangalore, India ,17-18 December 2012
12
Making the Enablers Available
Ultimately, the key to success of any
enabling technology is its adoption.
OMA has a program of Application
Programming Interface (API) development
for many of the specifications it produces.
This program helps make implementation
of the OMA service enablers easier for
application developers.
Bangalore, India ,17-18 December 2012

OMA APIs Standardize Access to Unique
Resources within Operator Networks
CSP can reach a subset Apps
App can reach a subset of Subs

The Value of Standardized APIs
Available to
any developer community
independent of the
development platform
Expose network assets
independent of the
signaling protocols,
network platforms,
or access technology
Operators benefit
Developers benefit
Users benefit
Everybody benefits
Reduces development cost
and time-to-market
for new applications
and services

frameworks with nearly 50 industry bodies
A Board level program with appointed ambassadors to
champion other bodies inside OMA
IPR policies harmonized with many of the major SDOs
including ETSI and ITU-T to make information exchange
and cross-referencing as easy and effective as possible
OMA welcomes collaboration and input from other bodies in
an effort to reduce duplication and fragmentation
