A resource for EMM people out there

This will be a short one. If you are into EMM and Enterprise Mobility in general, and looking for technical community that is not vendor-biased (and find existing LinkedIn a bit low on activity)  - check out https://emm.how/ It is a community of tech experts discussing platform and vendor-specific subjects: from implementation details for particular use...

Sorting out Android Enterprise management terminology

Android Enterprise evolves at a rapid pace. As an inevitable result, there is a trail of confusion with terms being introduced or changing meaning often. Can you tell the difference between the following: Device Policy Controller, Device Administration API, Device Owner, Device Policy Manager, User Manager, Android Management API, Profile Owner? Let’s sort it out...

Applying Zebra MX advanced device settings via SOTI EMM

Zebra devices have a cool set of extensions called MX. It can do tons of things. But, can we expect every EMM vendor to timely implement them natively in their consoles? SOTI EMM/MDM is one such good example, as UI there is quite limited. However, SOTI has a very powerful tool called SOTIscript. I have...

Changing Android device settings unavailable in AirWatch native GUI (Zebra MX)

However, SOTI has the super-awesome SOTIscript, and SOTIscript has a number of super-awesome  (but barely documented)...

Do non-overlapping channels overlap?

We all know the "non-overlapping" channels 1/6/11 in 2.4GHz (5GHz matter is similar). Do they really not overlap? I keep bumping into this in conversations, and would like to create a point of reference (with pictures) instead of having to repeat same old over and over.

What 802.11ax is not

I normally do not publish the "link to" posts, preferring to share on LinkedIn, but Devin Akin well deserves it. Matches my perspective 98%+, especially the point on 802.11ac stillborn MU-MIMO. Preamble: Aerohive has released the first 802.11ax APs (the official 802.11ax standard spec is not final yet) - so expect the marketing race. TL...
