ROCHESTER, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix®
Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a
leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR)
technology and products, announced today the support of mobile
device management applications Microsoft Intune and
MobileIron Core and MobileIron Cloud for use with Vuzix M400
Smart Glasses.
As enterprise customers scale the quantities of their deployed
smart glasses, mobile device management (MDM) is an important
onboarding process for many of Vuzix' larger customers and in some
cases is the final stage prior to broader enterprise
rollouts. With the latest MDM support from Microsoft Intune
and MobileIron, enterprise customers can efficiently deploy network
configurations, certificates, remote install applications, remotely
lock or wipe a device, enforce device passcodes and view device
inventory details.
The Vuzix M400 can be quickly enrolled into the MobileIron UEM
using the Device Admin deployment method (other Android Enrollment
modes are not currently supported), to allow end users to pick up
the device and instantly see the efficiency increases without
needing to go through a configuration/setup phase. The Vuzix M400
Smart Glasses have also been added to MobileIron's marketplace,
which allows MobileIron enterprise companies interested in smart
glasses to connect directly with Vuzix for their go-to-market
solution. MobileIron Core is a key component of
the MobileIron Platform. It is the administrative console
through which administrators can define security and management
policies for devices, apps, and content. MobileIron Core also
integrates with enterprise IT systems such as LDAP directories,
email, content repositories, and network access control
systems.
"Security and management of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses devices in
the field are very important decision criteria for Fortune 1000
companies that are in the process of qualifying our M400 Smart
Glasses for large scale rollouts," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix.
"We are pleased to have the support and expertise of some of the
largest mobile device management platforms to support our growing
enterprise customer install base using Vuzix Smart Glasses."
The Vuzix M400 is now supported by growing number of leading
mobile device management software platforms including Microsoft
Intine, MobileIron, VMWare Airwatch, SOTI MobiControl and 42Gears
Sure MDM. A downloadable whitepaper containing more
information about mobile device management to support larger Vuzix
smart glasses deployments can be found here on Vuzix'
