Principles of the Open Mobile Alliance
• Products and services are based on open, global standards, protocols and interfaces and are not locked to proprietary technologies
• The applications layer is bearer agnostic (examples: GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, UMTS)
• The architecture framework and service enablers are independent of Operating Systems (OS)
• Applications and platforms are interoperable, providing seamless geographic and inter-generational roaming
Principles
Copyright © 2002 Open Mobile Alliance Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
• Deliver responsive and high-quality open standards and specifications based upon market and customer requirements
• Establish centers of excellence for best practices and conduct interoperability testing (IOT), including multi-standard interoperability to ensure seamless user experience
• Create and promote common industry view on an architectural framework
• Be the catalyst for the consolidation of standards fora; working in conjunction with other existing standards organizations and groups such as IETF, 3GPP, 3GPP2, W3C, JCP

• Global technology agnostic applications
• Common API’s independent of access technologies
• Application layer and services independent of transport layers.
• Consolidated service requirement
• Consistent applications
• Consistent interoperability
• Consistent / common specifications
Overall Benefits
Copyright © 2002 Open Mobile Alliance Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
• Close relationship between OMA and 3GPP2 utilizing work group liaisons
• New work on application/application enabler development which could be radio and core network independent analyzed inside OMA.
• Radio and core network specific enablers required to support OMA applications should be developed by 3GPP
• No changes to radio and core network development – continues within 3GPP
Principals for cooperation

• Consider:
• 3GPP2 / OMA Complimentary Relationship
• Sharing requirements among organizations
• Coordination between organizations towards global applications and services
• Sharing of common service specifications
• Creation of Open Liaison Arrangement
• Proposals and Review by Plenary & Board at November meeting
• Liaisons can occur now awaiting final process approvals
