About Oracle Mobile Data Sync
Oracle Mobile Data Sync lets you use your mobile phone or PDA to store and synchronize contacts and calendar information with the Oracle Collaboration Suite Calendar database. All you need is a supported device, a calendar account, and the appropriate connection information from your administrator, and you are ready to get started. If Device Management is available in your organization, your device can be set up automatically for you.
Oracle Mobile Data Sync works by allowing you to connect your device to the Oracle Mobile Data Sync server through the Internet, using any standard Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) connection. This can be done with a device cradle or by using wireless technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and WiFi, depending on the device. With Oracle Mobile Data Sync you are no longer tied to your desktop for synchronization.
Oracle Mobile Data Sync can accept secure (Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL) connections. This means all your connections can be encrypted, providing secure transmission of data from your device to the Oracle Mobile Data Sync server.
Any device that complies with OMA-DS (Open Mobile Alliance - Data Synchronization, formerly known as SyncML) can be used with Oracle Mobile Data Sync, provided your administrator has not limited the device models that are allowed to connect to the server. However, it is best that you use a device certified by Oracle.
