Increasing complexity in wireless mobile devices is creating a need for remote management in a uniform and standard way. The SyncML specification is an openindustry, XML-based protocol, designed to facilitate synchronization of different devices and different networked data. SyncML based device management (DM) provides a unique way of managing millions of these devices by using the SyncML as a standard data exchange protocol among different entities across the network. In this paper, we outline the architecture of SyncML based device management and our work in designing and implementing both terminal side and server side SyncML DM functionalities. The paper discusses the end-to-end solution implemented by our current prototype to provide device management capabilities on GSM and GPRS based cell phones. The paper describes SyncML command implementation in native software to retrieve and configure phone specific data.
