Sprint Nextel has selected Mformation to provide mobile device management (MDM) services on its Xohm WiMAX network. The MDM solution allows Sprint to offer customers new applications and software upgrades remotely. ‘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. Sprint is partnering with Clearwire, Google, Intel and a number of US cable operators to launch a nationwide mobile WiMAX network in the US, with the first commercial services expected to be launched later this year or in early 2009.
