Selcomm provides complete Device Management for a very broad range of phones and other device types with an easy-to-use standardised method. Examples of the functions available:

  • Device configuration — understanding the exact configuration of each device
  • Device firmware upgrades — keeping firmware up to date for specialised devices
  • Device on-boarding — loading devices onto the system
  • Device tracking — locating devices where necessary and with the appropriate on-board features
  • Device message configuration — messages to and from devices using standard protocols
  • Device time sync — synchronising device time clocks for crucial applications
  • Device inventory — keeping track of the numbers and types of devices deployed, and locations if needed
  • Device distribution — getting devices to the right place at the right time

In mobile phone networks, much of this functionality is managed by existing systems or by the phone manufacturer. However, there are many other devices in networks, such as modems or data collection and concentration units, where these functions may be crucial to sustained network and solution performance.

As with all Selcomm modules, where specific functionality is provided by other systems the Selcomm Integration Module provides an easy method of accessing or providing the data as required. We understand that you may have systems in place that deliver specific needs and that these are not going to be replaced. We therefore fit in with those systems, providing the functionality you need without burdening you with software you do not want — use only the parts you require to augment your existing solution.

Selcomm also manages all of these functions, so it can be deployed as a complete solution.
