LANDesk^® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager

Handheld, Wireless and Embedded Device Management. Single Console Simplicity.

Increase efficiency, save time, reduce costs, establish standards and ensure your mobile workforce has access to the tools they need with LANDesk® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager.

LANDesk Handheld and Embedded Device Manager uses proven LANDesk® management technologies for a handheld management solution optimized for the low-speed, intermittent connections characteristic of handheld, embedded and wireless devices. You gain the power to provide enterprise-level support to all your enterprise mobile devices with:

• Access via carrier connection
• Asset management
• Efficient software distribution
• Bandwidth optimization

Access via Carrier Connection

LANDesk® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager lets you easily secure moving resources and the information on them. If a wireless device is lost, a simple right-click from your management console lets you access the device via carrier connection to clear its memory card; delete contacts, address book data and e-mail; perform a reset and more.

Asset Management

LANDesk® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager lets you automate asset discovery and inventory management in addition to asset monitoring and change control alerting. Its lightweight inventory scanner catalogs detailed hardware and software attributes and stores them in a central inventory database for license tracking, reporting and change control as well as easy targeting for handheld software deployments to increase efficiency.

Efficient Software Distribution

LANDesk® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager makes it easy to distribute software packages and updates to both your wired and wireless devices using LANDesk® Management Suite’s familiar task scheduler. You can use a zero-touch process to automatically update client-side agents. And LANDesk® Handheld File Exchange™ technology makes it easy to push out key documents or price lists to selected handhelds and to pull critical data files up to the core server for automated data collection.

Bandwidth Optimization

LANDesk® Handheld and Embedded Device Manager is optimized for the low-speed, intermittent connections typical of handheld devices. Dynamic bandwidth throttling adjusts automatically for slower wireless connections, so software distribution tasks don’t monopolize bandwidth. And data compression reduces total traffic sent over wireless links. While checkpoint restart helps ensure that if a task is interrupted, it’s completed at the next available opportunity.
