FancyFon Announces Android Support

FancyFon has announced that its FancyFon Mobility Center, FAMOC centralized mobile device lifecycle management platform has been extended to include support for Android devices.
FAMO now enables customers to manage a fleet of mobile phones over multiple platforms, including Symbian S60, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, UIQ, Java-based feature phones, and now Android, in real time, over the air.
FancyFon has provided Android remote support since February 2009, empowering mobile operators, enterprise customers and government organizations to operate Android devices remotely – and independently if they are Android version 1.x or 2.x users – by enabling access to end users phone screens, keyboards, applications and files via over-the-air diagnostic tools.
Going forward, Android customers will be able to benefit from the full functionality portfolio from FancyFon, including the five key areas of mobile device lifecycle management: device asset management, configuration management, application management, security management and remote support. With a common GUI (Graphical User Interface) and a centralized point of control, says FancyFon, the platform provides a simple and cost effective management solution for Android.
“As mobile technology evolves, Android is gaining market share and is being viewed as an increasingly important player, says FancyFon COO, Dietmar Fuchs. FancyFon has reacted to this by extending its support of Android functionality, to satisfy the growing market demand.”
