TR-69 Vs OMA-DM

TR-069 is standard from DSLForum to remotely manage networking devices. OMA-DM is standard from "Open Mobile Alliance'
to manage smart phones remotely. Though the target market segment is
different, I don't see any major difference between both of them as far
as their functionality is concerned. I believe that both the standards
are suitable for both kinds of market segments.

Similarities:

• Remote configuration and monitoring of devices
  • TR-069 is meant for managing networking devices.
  • OMA-DM is meant for managing Mobile devices.
• Firmware upgrade.
• HTTP based access - OMA-DM support other transports too.
• SSL for security.
• Both use XML for exchanging messages.
• Both support configuration parameters in hierarchical fashion (Tree form).
• Both expect devices to make connection to the central configuration server.
• Both support mutual authentication.
• Both have mechanism for central configuration server to notify devices of different events.
  • OMA-DM uses WAP-Push and SMS.
  • TR-069 connects to device embedded HTTP Server.

I don't see many differences though. I will post new entry once I find more information.

Both of these standards have become very popular in their market segments and IMO both will be surviving for a long time.
