Sepura Device Manager (SDM) has been designed to offer a centralised management solution for mission critical customers. Its primary focus is to provide in-the-field device management via an LTE bearer allowing a customer to manage a device fleet in near real time.
Utilising Over-the-Air (OTA) software upgrades and configuration management it brings a cost-effective solution for deploying and managing devices on an LTE network.
Centrally managed software upgrades allow new features and fixes to be deployed, and give clear deployment progress updates while a device remains in service without the need for return to a service centre.
Paired with our Mobile Device Management solution, the Sepura SCU3 is a complete vehicle communication hub, giving customers a clear upgrade path for their mission critical communications needs.
SDM allows the creation of configuration sets for the SCU3 Broadband Vehicle Device. These configurations control parameters around power, audio gain and network bearer selection via a set of rules. A configuration can be created and edited using the simple to use graphical user interface (GUI) and then either applied directly to a group or one of the devices.
A key strength of SDM is the ability to manage a group of devices centrally. This in combination with device groups and policies allows a user to quickly provision and manage a large fleet of devices. These device policies allow a set of configuration rules to be grouped into a policy and deployed at the touch of a button.
Once a device has had a policy applied, SDM will ensure that the device complies to the applied policy, any deviations from this policy will result in SDM attempting automatic correction or flagging that the device does not conform.
Users authorised to perform an activity ensures less mistakes in deploying important configuration and software updates. SDM provides full authorisation capabilities to allow an administrator to restrict or allow a user to perform certain activities.
SDM records details of every activity performed on the system, giving an administrator confidence that any activity can be tracked back to the user. Having this ability also allows tracking of any changes made to a device.
