Client Provisioning V1.1
Provisioning is the process by which a WAP client is configured with a minimum of user interaction. The term covers both over the air (OTA) provisioning and provisioning by means of, e.g., SIM cards. OMA Client Provisioning V1.1 is a backwards compatible extension of the client provisioning functionality included in WAP 2.0. This version has added support for direct access (and WAP Proxy support) and application access provisioning.
The OMA Client Provisioning Enabler enablers operators to send new settings over the air; after receiving the settings the customer simply saves them to the phone and is then able to use the service. For the operator, simplifying access to advanced services can bring higher usage rates, new revenue streams, and reduced customer helpline costs.
