Industry-leader Wavelink Offers Streamlined Device Management To SMB Market

Wavelink Corporation recently announced the availability of Wavelink Avalanche Site Edition (SE), which offers all the device management functionality of Wavelink Avalanche Mobility Center (MC) without the infrastructure management and distributed server components generally needed by larger enterprises. Avalanche SE enables administrators to configure, deploy, secure and manage all their mobile devices from a central console.

"The release of Wavelink Avalanche SE fills a void in the market for small to medium-sized companies who require a more complete solution than competing standalone device management solutions but don't need the complexity of advanced infrastructure management," said Peter Cannon, Wavelink senior product manager. "Avalanche SE delivers a full-featured solution for centrally managing multiple types and brands of mobile devices that is unlike anything else on the market."

Avalanche SE delivers a powerful, full-featured device management solution with broad support for devices from multiple vendors that include legacy DOS-based devices, ruggedized handhelds, wireless printers, barcode scanners, RFID readers, time clocks and other embedded OS devices. Avalanche SE includes all of the device management features of Avalanche MC and also introduces usability improvements such as a new wizard-based dynamic package builder. Wavelink provides the only vendor-agnostic product in the market presenting extensive functionality and reduced complexity across such a large number of devices.

Avalanche SE offers users the following benefits:

• Streamlined to reduce complexity – For organizations that do not need advanced capabilities of infrastructure management or distributed servers but need a complete solution to manage their mobile devices.
• Simple, out-of-the-box provisioning – The Wavelink Avalanche client software is pre-loaded by more than a dozen mobile device manufacturers making immediate management a simple task. Automatic device discovery and use of profiles and groups automatically configures new devices according to user-defined parameters.
• Central management for all mobile devices – Unlike most software solutions that only support a single vendor or particular devices, Avalanche SE provides a vendor-agnostic device management console.
• Increased security of mobile devices – Set and enforce wireless network and security policies for mobile devices and ensure compliance with requirements such as PCI and Sarbanes Oxley.

Wavelink Avalanche Site Edition is now available through Wavelink channel partners and for download at www.wavelink.com/download. Customers who purchase Avalanche SE with maintenance will be able to upgrade to future versions of Avalanche MC at no cost as their enterprise needs grow.
