Our Education Mobile Device Solutions

Student Tablets and Devices

Our mobile device management solutions include tablets optimized for digital learning across multiple operating systems. We maintain inventory of Samsung tablets, iPads, and Chromebooks ready for educational institutions. Each device arrives configured with Google Classroom, Apple Classroom, or other learning platforms your school district requires.

We handle device deployment at scale. Schools can grow from 200 devices to 2,000+ in months without adding IT staff. Our zero touch enrollment process means students receive fully configured devices ready for instructional time.

Device Configuration and MDM Setup

We configure devices with the right MDM software for your educational institution. Our team has deployed devices across at least 14 different MDM systems including Samsung Knox MDM, Apple Business Manager, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Intune. Each device receives appropriate security policies before reaching students.

Kiosk mode restricts access to approved educational apps only. We can lock devices to specific applications, restrict access to the Play Store, or enable students to use multiple educational resources. IT administrators control device settings remotely without touching physical devices.

Security Management and Data Protection

Our security measures protect sensitive data across all student devices. We enforce security policies including passcode requirements, encryption, and remote wipe capabilities for lost mode. IT teams can remotely control device access, lock devices outside school grounds, and prevent data breaches.

We implement app management controls that restrict access to unauthorized content. Teachers maintain control over what students access during instructional time. Software updates and OS updates deploy automatically to ensure devices stay secure.

Direct-to-Student Shipping and Support

We deliver configured devices directly to students for remote learning deployments. Each device ships with educational resources, chargers, protective cases, and setup instructions. Our white-label service represents your school district throughout the process.

Call center support handles device issues without involving school IT staff. Students and teachers receive technical assistance from representatives acting as an extension of your district. We process returns, manage warranty claims, and coordinate device exchanges.

How We Deployed 30K Health Tablets for a Global Children's Initiative

International children’s cause

Challenge:

Encourage kids to be more physically active and promote a campaign to provide food and clean water to poor countries.

Solution:

Provided 30K devices adapted to fitness band applications.

How we did it:

One of the world’s largest NGOs for children’s causes required specially formatted tablets for an interactive health initiative. Schools and groups organize fitness campaigns, and the benefits go towards providing nutrition to some of the poorest areas in the world. After close client collaboration, ConnectUs filled this large order which helped save thousands of lives.
