Combining a manageable device, on premises SIP, off-premises 4G, and Android apps is the right thing for enterprise phones.
On the one hand – consumer phones are gaining new features at a rapid rate – often eclipsing what is available in the enterprise. On the other, the Android for Enterprise certification program is a good one because it shows devices are more stable, will have software patches – cybersecurity problems solved, etc.
Spectralink has been one of the oldest companies in the enterprise wireless phone space and this news is good for them as Android is the future – and Enterprise Android is their target market. After all, as of today, even Microsoft acknowledged they need Android to power their mobile devices.
