What is OMA?
• The OMA is designed to be a center for mobile service specification
work, stimulating and contributing to the creation of interoperable

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
