Mformation Technologies says that it has won a contract to provide device management services to Sprint's WiMAX network. Sprint will use Mformation to remotely activate, configure, diagnose, update, secure and manage a diverse fleet of WiMAX-capable devices throughout all phases of their lifecycle. This will ensure that services and applications are delivered smoothly across Sprint’s WiMAX network.

  “Advanced device management is critical to delivering the best possible user experience over WiMAX and enabling the broadest and most compelling suite of WiMAX devices,” said Barry West, President of Sprint’s XOHM business unit. “The ability to remotely manage and support any WiMAX device — irrespective of where it has been bought — will create the first truly open wireless marketplace, allowing customers to purchase their own devices and activate them when they choose with or without a contract in place.”

With support for more than 1,400 devices across any mobile network type, Mformation’s integrated MDM platform already supports Sprint’s current CDMA device portfolio.

“Working with Sprint on this very important mobile broadband initiative is great validation of the power of our comprehensive MDM platform,” said Mark Edwards, CEO for Mformation. “We have consistently demonstrated our ability to support Sprint on their existing device portfolio where our advanced MDM platform is delivering a seamless, intuitive customer experience. Our ability to activate and manage their mobile devices to support their CDMA subscribers has been a huge success. We look forward to supporting them on XOHM and many further initiatives.”
