OMTP recommendations have hugely helped to standardise mobile operator terminal requirements, and its work has gone towards helping to defragment and deoptionalise operators' recommendations. OMTP’s focus was on gathering and driving mobile terminal requirements, and publishing their findings in their Recommendations. OMTP was technology neutral, with its recommendations intended for deployment across the range of technology platforms, operating systems (OS) and middleware layers.

OMTP is perhaps best known for its work in the field of mobile security, but its work encompassed the full range of mobile device capabilities. OMTP published recommendations in 2007 and early 2008 on areas such as Positioning Enablers, Advanced Device Management, IMS and Mobile VoIP. Later, the Advanced Trusted Environment: OMTP TR1<ref>[http://www.gsma.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/omtpadvancedtrustedenvironmentomtptr1v11.pdf OMTP Advanced Trusted Environment: OMTP TR1] at gsma.com</ref> and its supporting document, 'Security Threats on Embedded Consumer Devices'<ref>[http://www.gsma.com/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/omtpsecuritythreatsonembeddedconsumerdevicesv11.pdf OMTP Security Threats on Embedded Consumer Devices] at gsma.com</ref> were released, with the endorsement of the UK Home Secretary, [[Jacqui Smith]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.telecoms.com/9012/crime-fighters-welcome-mobile-security-requirements |title=Crime fighters welcome mobile security requirements |publisher=telecoms.com |date=May 22, 2008 |accessdate=September 16, 2009}}</ref>

=== Wholesale Applications Community ===

In June 2010, the OMTP transitioned itself into the new Wholesale Applications Community. All OMTP activities ceased at that time and were either taken over within the WAC organisation or other standards or industry associations.<ref>http://www.mobileeurope.co.uk/Press-Wire/omtp-announces-final-documents-prior-to-transition-into-wholesale-application-community</ref>. In turn, in July 2012 WAC itself was closed, with the OMTP standards being transferred to [[GSMA]], and other assets and personnel transferring to Apigee.<ref>http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/17/wac-whacked-telecom-backed-alliance-merges-into-gsma-assets-acquired-by-api-management-service-apigee/</ref>.
