OMTP is an operator-sponsored forum that serves the needs of each and every link in the mobile phone value chain by gathering and driving mobile terminal requirements. There are currently eight full members: AT&T, Deutsche Telekom AG, KT, Orange, Smart Communications, Telecom Italia, Telefónica and Vodafone. OMTP also has the support of two sponsors: Ericsson and Nokia. There are a total of 37 participants from all parts of the industry. The complete mobile value chain is represented and as well as operators includes handset manufacturers, chip makers and software and OS developers.
Any company can join OMTP and become part of its success story
OMTP works on tasks initiated and led by its whole membership which create requirements for mobile devices. This de-fragmentation ultimately leads to benefits for the whole industry and for the end user.
The major OMTP task in 2010 relates to the rapid delivery of BONDI. However, there are also a range of other ongoing tasks which are resourced by our members and are delivering recommendations. These include updates to our common charging document, device cameras, visual voicemail, network and battery optimisation amongst others.
The web offers the clearest route to providing a cross platform application environment for mobile devices. BONDI is a standard web application platform which pulls together existing web standards with a clear set of new APIs and a security framework. BONDI is the key enabler to allow an end to end ecosystem in which developers can create a single application using their existing web development experience which can be downloaded to a wide variety of devices and platforms.
Why BONDI? Because like the Australian beach, OMTP wants mobile customers to have the greatest surfing experience whilst making the experience as safe as possible. “It’s safe to surf”
