Open Market Handsets (OMH) is a CDG industry initiative focused on expanding access to a variety of CDMA handsets through open handset distribution. This open access is achieved through independence of OMH devices from operator-specific provisioning.
- An OMH device operates seamlessly on any CDMA OMH operator network, including full subscription portability for voice, SMS, 1x data, EV-DO data, WAP, MMS, BREW, Java, and Location Based Services.
- An OMH device exhibits proven quality, performance, and interoperability. One-time standards-based testing provides device certification for all OMH operators and markets.
Many Qualcomm chipsets support Open Market Handset features.
