Managing Mobile Devices with SOTI MobiControl and AirWave
Overview of SOTI MobiControl
SOTI MobiControl, the mobile device management platform for Windows Mobile, Apple, and Android devices, has been
integrated into AirWave to provide direct access to the MobiControl Web Console.
MobiControl runs on your Mobile Device Manager (MDM) server. This server provisions mobile devices to configure
connectivity settings, enforce security policies, restore lost data, and other administrative services. Information gathered
from mobile devices can include policy breaches, data consumption, and existing configuration settings.
Refer to the following for additional information:
