Explanation:
Over- the- air provisioning is a mechanism to deploy MIDlet suites over a network. It
is a method of distributing MIDlet suites. MIDlet suite providers install their MIDlet suites on Web
servers and provide a hypertext link for downloading. A user can use this link to download the
MIDlet suite either through the Internet microbrowser or through WAP on his device. Over-the-air

deployment goals is a distracter.
