The 4G Mobile Forum and the IPv6 Forum Forge an Alliance

[San Francisco/Luxembourg, September 29, 2008]

The Fourth Generation Mobile Forum® (4GMF®) and the IPv6 Forum forge an alliance to promote interoperability and foster creation of next generation mobile applications in the booming wireless mobile broadband environments.

"The IPv6 Forum could add great value to our open mobile platform for innovative end to end mobile applications and services, especially with the looming IPv4 address depletion by 2010" said Dr. Willie W. Lu, Chairman 4GMF® - Open Mobile Initiative.

"The (4GMF) has been a great advocate for an open platform in the wireless mobile sector very much in line with the IPv6 Forum mission. This platform will be used for sharing technological innovations and business insights in the emerging 4th generation open mobile and wireless communications focusing on applications and services" said Mr. Latif Ladid, IPv6 Forum President.

The Internet World has been using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) for the past three decades. Despite its tremendous success, IPv4 is showing signs of strain especially in its fast depleting IP address space and its growing security concerns. IPv6 preserves everything good in today's Internet, and adds much more, such as virtually unlimited IP address space to connect everyone and everything, stateless auto-configuration, seamless mobility, automated network management, mandated security and new optional service levels.

Future mobile communications will be shifted from today's traditional transmission-specific radio technology to an interface-based technology in order to be more compatible with computer system architecture. The future mobile device will therefore be first and foremost a computer with IP networking, then an open wireless architecture (OWA) low-power mobile terminal. This OWA-IP technology offers an optimal solution to open up the wireless platform for complete openness and simplicity and would support the service-oriented end-to-end IP architecture and infrastructure that fully converge the fixed and mobile communications into a truly personal communication era.
