| With more and more devices now adopting the Android platform, Android is fast becoming a dominant operating system for enterprises investing in rugged mobile solutions.With a projected growth of 23% over the next 5 years, Android is on pace to become the largest rugged operating system by shipment in 2019.
In anticipation of this market trend, BEC has been proactive in accommodating and developing its Android-based solution offerings.
We are also able to support the migration path from Windows Mobile or Windows Embedded Mobile environments across to the Android platform.
 Why is Android increasing in popularity within rugged mobile solutions?
Many ruggedised mobile computers are emerging with the Android OS at their core and are seeing benefits in the form of faster processing, more storage and memory as well as bigger screens.
In addition to being future-proof, enterprise-optimised Android devices boost efficiency, security, productivity and accuracy for customers in a range of markets and industries.
Android has also become ubiquitous in the consumer smartphone and tablet market, so many employees will already be familiar with the user interface, making training easier and less expensive.
Android Products
The leading manufacturers are no longer producing Windows devices due to the limited period of support now being offered by Microsoft for Windows Mobile platforms.
 However ruggedised mobile computers are now available with the Android OS at their core delivering higher performance, better user experience, simplified management, security and lower cost of ownership.
Although Microsoft is winding down support for many of its legacy operating systems there is no real need for concern, as most manufacturers of these devices have facilities in place to continue to support this programme. There are many ‘Android Enterprise Recommended’ devices to choose from, most of which offer a future-proofed roadmap.
Android devices work well with Bluetooth headsets and wearable ring scanners, have built-in near field communication (NFC) capabilities and bigger, better touchscreens than previous generation devices to provide a multitude of advantages.
