About OMA SUPL
SUPL (Secure User Plane Location) is a protocol defined by the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) that defines an IP-based approach for the exchange of location data between a mobile device and a wireless network. SUPL’s features and broad industry adoption are allowing wireless carriers to successfully launch LBS quickly and cost-effectively. OMA’s goal with SUPL is to facilitate global user adoption of mobile data services by defining this market driven mobile service enabler that ensures service interoperability across devices, geographies, service providers, and networks. Like other application protocols that sit above the modem layer such as MMS, SUPL enables many new application development possibilities. |
