> 8.1 | Introduction to OTAP

> OTA (Over The Air) Provisioning of Java Applications is a common practice in the Java world. OTAP describes mechanisms to install, update and delete Java applications over the air. The ME implements the Over The Air Application Provisioning as specified in the IMP-NG standard (JSR228).
> The OTAP mechanism described in this document does not require any physical user interaction with the device; it can be fully controlled over the air interface. Therefore it is suitable for Java devices that are designed not to require any manual interaction such as vending machines or electricity meters.
