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.
Software Upgrades
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.
Configuration Data
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.
Device Groups and Policies
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.
