28 January 2008 - OMTP today released a new set of requirements for advanced device management. This document defines a set of recommendations for device management elements on the device which allow the operator, manufacturer or third party to resolve problems on the device.

28 January 2008 - OMTP today released a new set of requirements for anti-virus clients. This document defines how the anti-virus client can be remotely managed by a mobile network operator's device management authority. The device itself needs to allow such an anti-virus client to be remotely managed and hence it needs to fulfill a basic set of requirements for this type of remote application management. As an anti-virus client will use a Terminal's remote management features and does not need to implement a complete remote application management solution, this document concentrates on the features that an anti-virus client needs to support.
