Less than 2 YEARS to a new mobile OS<\/h3>\n

January 13, 2020 Windows will stop supporting Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5. Soon after 8.1 is next. Security updates will cease. No new apps will be compatible.<\/p>\n

You have less than two years to transition from legacy Windows to a new mobile Operating System.<\/p>\n

So, what do we do now?<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t wait for Microsoft to pull the plug. Use your time wisely and invest in a smooth transition to the security, versatility, and ease of Android for the enterprise.<\/p>\n

Advances in technology\u2014hardware and software\u2014present the opportunity to strengthen your infrastructure with this OS migration.

Providers like Zebra<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> offer software such as Mobility Extensions (Mx), that can elevate Android to enterprise class security, data capture, connectivity, and manageability.<\/p>\n

Why Android?<\/h3>\n

Newer Windows OS:<\/strong> Still need to rewrite apps, industry moving away from Windows.<\/p>\n

Apple iOS:<\/strong> Consumer oriented, not rugged for industrial use<\/p>\n

A network solution that delivers more.<\/h3>\n
