Key Device Platform Use Case #1 -- Extensibility

16

Device Platform

Device Platform is extensible with custom

software components which activate key

operator assets to deliver a strategically

differentiated user experience such that:

A) The IPRs in these custom components

remain secure;

B) The system governing Platform

fragmentation is not compromised;

C) There is no resultant strategic conflict

with the Platform owner.
