Mformation Technologies Inc.,  announced that SPRINT has selected its MFORMATION SERVICE MANAGER to provide seamless device management capabilities for new WiMAX-capable mobile devices as part of the XOHM WiMAX.

Device management ensures that WiMAX devices can be remotely activated and provisioned irrespective of their source, ensuring they work seamlessly and deliver a true mobile Internet experience. "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."

XOHM intends to significantly enhance the Mobile Internet, allowing users to access advanced data applications and personal content from anywhere in the XOHM WiMAX coverage area, on any WiMAX-certified device at broadband speed. Studies show that consumer uptake of new mobile applications and services is directly related to early, positive user experiences and services that work seamlessly right out of the box. Sprint will use Mformation's advanced MDM technology 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
