Solutions

Combining Software Products and VIP Services, Open Kernel Labs works with customers to deliver solutions that address critical business issues. Within the mobile/wireless space this includes solutions for device OEMs, MNOs, and semiconductor suppliers.

For Device OEMs

Quicker Development: Easier integration and increased reuse gets new products to market sooner

Mass-Market Smartphones: Lower-cost phones with open application support offer unmatched benefits to mobile network operators (MNOs) and corresponding sales gains to device OEMs

New Platform Adoption: Being among the first-to-market with support for a new and in-demand application platform like Android creates market share and profit margin

Branded Service Integration: Integrating MNO services with handsets enables easier to realize time-to-market and cost benefits

M2E and Nirvana Phone: Serving a sizable and largely-untapped market for a product line that benefits from a "bring your own device" option (with personal and corporate worlds on one device); a choice that appeals to consumers AND meets enterprise IT security requirements for supporting mobile workers

Security: By providing foundational support for security, device OEMs create devices better able to meet the security requirements of mobile phone users, MNOs, and other service providers

For MNOs

Branded Service Integration: Enables branded service integration applicable to a wider range of mobile devices for MNO services, with increased portability and management, to realize quicker time-to-market and cost benefits

Mass-Market Smartphones: Lower cost phones with open application support give more customers access to applications that increase data users and annual revenue per user (ARPU)

New Platform Adoption: Device OEMs with OKL4-based products can more quickly integrate the latest application platform, such as Android, to deliver new devices that drive customer acquisition and enable new services

M2E and Nirvana Phone: A product line enabling a "bring your own device" option (with personal and corporate worlds on one device) that appeals to mobile phone users AND meets enterprise IT requirements for supporting mobile workers taps a substantial and largely-unmet need in the market

Security: Whether the goal is supporting mobile finance or providing secure enterprise use, the OKL4 Microvisor enables MNOs to more easily meet a range of security requirements within a single device

For Semiconductor Suppliers

Quicker Development: Device OEMs require delivery of integrated hardware/software solutions. Quicker development enables easier integration and increased reuse, which shortens time to revenue

New Platform Adoption: Being among the first-to-market with support for a new and in-demand application platform like Android creates market share and greater profit margin. New platform adoption provides the tools to speed time-to-market

Mass-Market Smartphones: The mobile ecosystem will benefit tremendously as the cost decreases for phones with open application support. Combine lower-cost SoCs with a single ARM processor and mobile virtualization to take advantage of this market opportunity

Security: When the semiconductor supplier solution includes software components that must be secure, the ability to more easily meet a range of security requirements offers meaningful differentiation when selling to device OEMs looking for more complete platforms

Value engenders value

Mobile virtualization adds value across the mobile device ecosystem. Semiconductor suppliers with OKL4 Microvisor integration bring more value to device OEMs. Device OEMs creating OKL4-based handsets offer more value to MNOs. And MNOs deploying OKL4-based handsets, sustain ARPUs from data services as more consumers and mobile workers carry open-OS phones and use them as enterprise endpoints.

No matter the location or role of a company within the mobile ecosystem, OK Labs offers both technical and business value with the OKL4 Microvisor.
