What is OTA platform?

OTA is the abbreviation of Over-the-AirTechnology, which is translated as "over-the-air download" in Chinese. It is a technology of remote management of SIM card data and applications through the air interface of mobile communication (GSM or CDMA). The air interface can adopt WAP, GPRS, CDMA 1X and the most popular short message technology. With the application of OTA technology, mobile communication not only provides mobile voice and data services, but also provides new mobile services. In this way, application and content service providers can continue to develop more personalized services that are close to users' needs, such as information on demand, interactive entertainment, location services and banking transactions, without the limitation of platforms. Through OTA over-the-air download technology, mobile phone users can use OTA mechanism to download various service menus provided by the network to their mobile phones according to their personal preferences, and can also customize specific services according to their own wishes.

OTA is developed based on K-JAVA of SUN company in the United States. K-JAVA is a basic platform designed for devices with small screen and small storage capacity (such devices are generally mobile phones). On this platform, many common functions of computers can be realized by programs provided by third-party software vendors, such as e-mail, word processing, picture browsing, animation, data retrieval and so on. Our company started from 1996 and began to pay attention to the spotless project initiated by Sun Lab in 2000. The future development direction is to provide programs that can expand the performance of devices with small screens and small storage capacity. Experimental development began in the same year, but a serious problem was encountered when developing K-JAVA applications. All the technologies about OTA servers are in the hands of foreign companies such as MOTO, SUN and 4thpass. In order to break through the technical barrier, our company began to tackle the key problems of OTA server on June 5438+ 10, 2002, and set up a key project team. The project team joined hands with experts in all aspects of the company to tackle key problems. Finally, MOTO 388 was successfully used to download the first application from the test server: "Water Pipe". At this point, China people also have their own OTA technology. We call it OTA( OTA Over The Air). After mastering the OTA technology with independent property rights, our company has conducted more in-depth research and development in the field of wireless applications. Now our OTA products have been partially formed and tested in many industries.
