Wavelink Corporation announced a partnership with iPad
Enclosures, the makers of the secure iPad kiosk and other tablet kiosks, to
provide remote management of tablet-based kiosks.
With iPad Enclosures protecting the devices and kiosks
and Wavelink providing remote management of
tablets, organizations now have an affordable solution for provisioning,
deploying and maintaining multiple tablet computer kiosks.
iPads and other tablets are becoming
increasingly popular for kiosks, particularly in industries such as retail,
hospitality, entertainment, healthcare and education, because of the lower cost
and portability not available with PC-based kiosks.
They allow customers to interact with a company and its
brand at both long-term and temporary locations including retail outlets,
hotels, hospitals, amusement parks, museums, universities, conventions and
concerts.
“Our customers love the sleek design and
cost-effectiveness of our kiosk enclosures, but as they deploy multiple units
they have been asking for a way to remotely manage them,” said Scott Paul,
president of iPad Enclosures.
“With Wavelink, we can offer customers a solution
that enables them to perform updates, secure the information on the device,
track their location and monitor their performance without requiring someone to
physically go to each device,” Paul added.
iPad Enclosures
securely encases the tablet devices to prevent theft or tampering. Device
management from Wavelink Avalanche provides the ability to remotely monitor,
update and manage an entire fleet of devices from a web-based console to ensure
kiosks are operating correctly and that the data on them is secure.
In hotel and hospital rooms where an occupant uses a
device that then needs to be cleared of any data and history, administrators
can use Avalanche to remotely wipe, provision and secure the device for the
next user.
Tablets are becoming more popular as business tools over
the traditional consumer devices. However, businesses need to be more proactive
in how they manage these new types of mobile assets so they can efficiently
deploy and maintain them,” said Lamar Van Wagenen, president and CEO of
Wavelink.
It is also important to ensure that consumer data is
secure and that iPads maintain compliance with industry mandates for security
and privacy especially within the healthcare industry and HIPAA and HITECH
regulations,” Wagenen added.
