InnoPath Announces Release Of iMDM Solutions Suites Version 5.1

New Platform Delivers Integrated MDM Services, OMA Standards Support, and Diagnostics and Workflow Capabilities for Dramatically Simplifying Mobile Device Management for Carriers and Handset Manufacturers

LOS ANGELES, CA - September 12, 2006 - At the CTIA Wireless and Entertainment 2006 tradeshow today, InnoPath Software, Inc., the industry leader in Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, unveiled version 5.1 of its iMDM Solution Suites. iMDM 5.1, available for shipment immediately, builds on the commercially proven success of InnoPath's FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) and configuration solutions, delivering important new capabilities that enable mobile operators and device manufacturers to bring new handsets and services to market rapidly, accelerate data revenues, strengthen subscriber loyalty, and reduce overall support costs.

"The internet, computing, multimedia, consumer electronics, and voice experience continue to converge on the mobile device. Every enhancement increases the potential for problems. Without reliable and hassle-free setup and delivery of new applications for subscribers, new revenue growth for service providers is at risk," said John Jackson of the Yankee Group. "Winners in the competition between mobile operators will deliver a differentiated, highly customized subscriber experience on different devices. Standards-based, integrated mobile device management platforms are essential to their success."

iMDM 5.1 provides an integrated platform for delivery of MDM services and includes support for Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) interoperability standards. It provides mobile operators with a single common view of subscribers, devices and network traffic points, and expanded integration to back-end systems. New diagnostics capabilities enable operators to rapidly gather device configurations for improved customer satisfaction and service quality. Workflow Designer, featuring a drag and drop interface, enables mobile operators to easily create their own MDM business processes for customizing firmware, configuration and diagnostic transactions. An enhanced user interface unifies overall system management, reporting and monitoring.

"With widespread commercial deployments at Tier 1 carriers worldwide, InnoPath is the market-proven solutions leader, and our new iMDM 5.1 Solution Suites deliver cutting edge new capabilities that mobile operators require," said John Fazio, president and CEO of InnoPath Software. "As a pioneer in Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) interoperability efforts, we also realize that the rapid adoption and success of MDM depends on support of industry standards. iMDM 5.1 reflects InnoPath's industry leadership and commitment to OMA standards."

iMDM 5.1 Solution Suites support both CDMA and GSM networks, with integrated capabilities to remotely configure settings and new services, gather device diagnostics and fix problems, and update software and firmware over-the-air (FOTA) - all in real time. The iMDM Carrier Suite and iMDM Device Suite are standards-based (supporting OMA-DM 1.1.2 and 1.2, OMA-DL 1.0, FUMO 1.0, OMA-CP 1.1) so they can operate independently, however working together, they create a unique end-to-end solution to meet the challenges that operators and handset manufacturers currently face. A common platform maximizes performance on the server side and ensures a smaller footprint and better utilization of scarce handset resources. The iMDM 5.1 platform provides the foundation for rolling out current and future MDM solutions.

InnoPath will demonstrate the iMDM 5.1 Solution Suites at the CTIA Wireless and Entertainment 2006 event in Los Angeles, CA from September 12-14, 2006, Booth 256.
