REASON #3
Extend Lifecycle
Shorter device lifecycles cause frustration for IT departments with adverse impacts on productivity, security, and ROI.
Mobility Edge is Honeywell’s answer to the need to extend the life of your mobile devices – and get full return on your solution investment. Investing in a new Honeywell device in 2019, you will benefit from at least 6 years of useful life, through 2025. Here is how we do it:
Security Support through 5 Versions of Android (O to R) – We have collaborated closely with Google on their Android mobile OS, and with Qualcomm® on their mobile device chipset, to provide a guarantee of compatibility and support for Mobility Edge all the way through Android R. This is the longest mobile device lifecycle in
the industry.
Extended Android Security Updates – Once Google has reached the end of support for Android R and stops issuing security patches, Honeywell extends support by providing critical security patches for an additional two years via our Honeywell Sentinel™ service. This commitment extends through 2025. Honeywell is the only solution provider who guarantees such long-lasting support.
Battery Optimizer – The Battery Optimizer provides information about current battery health and state of charge. It optionally allows users to choose different preset and custom optimization profiles to extend the available runtime of the battery pack, which is useful in situations where an external charger is not readily available.
Devices to Support Next-Gen SOM – The modular architecture of the Mobility Edge platform facilitates future development of a new family of models incorporating a next-generation SOM architecture, allowing customers to reduce their upgrade cost by leveraging existing peripherals and minimizing user training when upgrading their systems.
Self-Diagnostics – All Mobility Edge devices have an integrated self-diagnostics utility, allowing users to identify and diagnose basic device issues.
Android Enterprise Recommended Program
Mobility Edge devices3 are validated through the Google-led Android Enterprise Recommended program. This means these rugged devices meet the defined technical specifications and
extended lifecycle support requirements that customers have come to expect for their enterprise device deployments.
So customers can select with confidence knowing these devices are built for hard enterprise environments and can withstand the abuse of daily activities. They can deploy easily using multiple provisioning options including Zero-Touch Enrollment, Google’s fast and simple deployment method. And devices will remain up-to-date over long multi-year deployments with guaranteed security.
