What to do with Android 11: install or skip (for now)?

February 16, 2022

When using Android, it is essential to regularly update your barcode scanners operating system to keep it safe and reliable.

Android 11 has been available for consumer devices for some time, such as the latest generation of smartphones. Barcode scanner manufacturers are now gradually starting the rollout for devices that have been developed for professional applications, such as production and logistics.

It is important to know that Android 11 has a different architecture compared to its predecessors, including security. This change mainly affects the ability to 'push' files, access rights and the ability to manage and update the 'device' via a Mobile Device Management environment. For customers who use our 'remote support including updates' service, migration to Android 11 is guaranteed.

If you have arranged your update rollout in a different way, but you still want to be assured of continued safe and reliable equipment, we are happy to help you.
