FancyFon Extends Mobile Device Management Coverage for Android
Monday 8th February 2010 - Cork, Ireland – Award-winning FancyFon™, a pioneer in unlocking the capabilities of next generation mobile communications, today further strengthened its leading position as the provider of choice for centralized multi-platform mobile device lifecycle management, by announcing the addition of Android to the technologies that it currently supports from a single point of control.
Android is a mobile operating system running on the Linux kernel. It was initially developed by Android Inc., a firm later purchased by Google, and lately by the Open Handset Alliance. Android allows developers to write managed code in the Java language, controlling the device via Google-developed Java libraries.
FancyFon Mobility Center (FAMOC™), a centralized mobile device lifecycle management platform, enables customers to manage a fleet of mobile phones, over multiple platforms - including Symbian S60, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, UIQ, Java-based feature phones, and now Android - in real time, over the air.
FancyFon has provided Android remote support since February 2009, empowering mobile operators, enterprise customers and government organizations to operate Android devices remotely - and independently if they are Android version 1.x or 2.x users - by enabling access to end users’ phone screens, keyboards, applications and files via over-the-air diagnostic tools. Going forward, Android customers will be able to benefit from the full functionality portfolio from FancyFon, including the five key areas of mobile device lifecycle management: device asset management, configuration management, application management, security management and remote support. With a common GUI and a centralized point of control, FancyFon provides a simple and cost effective management solution for Android.
Dietmar Fuchs, COO at FancyFon commented, “As mobile technology evolves, Android is gaining market share and is being viewed as an increasingly important player. FancyFon has reacted to this by extending its support of Android functionality, to satisfy the growing market demand.”
