Motorola unveils MSP 3.2

Johannesburg, 06 Aug 2008

Motorola's Enterprise business has released its Mobility Services Platform 3.2, that it says offers enhanced management capabilities to maximise enterprise mobile device uptime and utilisation among mobile workers.

According to the company, the solution can control up to 100 000 mobile devices across an enterprise's network around the world. It also features remote provisioning, monitoring and management, to help enterprises manage a broad set of devices within retail, transportation and logistics, warehouse and environments, Motorola says.

Motorola says MSP 3.2 provides secure management architecture to add mobile computers, enterprise assistants or bar code scanners on the network. Network administrators can wirelessly provision mobile computers from virtually any location without having to physically handle devices when updating operating systems, firmware, applications and security to meet the latest IT compliance policies.

"For enterprise devices that are either lost or stolen, MSP 3.2 can lock down or wipe the device of key information based on local policy or remotely from the management console."

The company says MSP 3.2 allows administrators access to set of monitoring and analysis tools to improve enterprise mobile device reliability both inside and outdoors.

MSP 3.2 also collects enterprise device metrics including available memory and storage, battery usage, power cycles, scans, and wireless network signal quality.

In addition, Motorola says IT managers can deliver customised messages to end-users, alert them to issues and provide simple instructions to fix or update applications.

"As the enterprise mobile workforce continues to expand and applications become more advanced, businesses must find ways to support mobile workers and troubleshoot mobile computing issues faster and more cost-effectively," says Boris Metlitsky, senior vice-president of product development, Motorola Enterprise Mobility business.

"Motorola's MSP 3.2 is enabling the next wave of enterprise mobility by protecting organisations' IT investments by providing anywhere, anytime error-proof staging and provisioning. By dramatically reducing the time and expense typically associated with device management and delivering a productivity increase, MSP 3.2 provides a nearly instant return on their investment."
