BT Business and Ivanti are introducing a new solution that allows businesses to activate mobile connectivity across managed Android devices at scale.
The new capability is a telco world first, handing organisations the ability to install eSIMs directly from their Mobile Device Management platform and activate on a device without physical handling or manual steps.
It offers businesses a time and money saving way to prepare and manage their mobile fleets for up to thousands of workers.
Using a single route, devices will either install eSIMs automatically or via a short installation process cutting the time to deliver from days to minutes.
The partnership brings together Android’s ecosystem, Ivanti’s management capability and BT’s mobile expertise to offer business customers a consistent method of deployment across their estates.
The move paves the way for future services built around secure, remotely managed connectivity, giving businesses more flexibility as their workforces, devices and security needs evolve.
“As organisations scale their mobile fleets, setting up connectivity must be as automated and manageable as the devices themselves,” said Bruce Payne, Principal Field CTO at Ivanti. “Embedding eSIM installation and activation directly into the management workflow allows organisations to further standardise provisioning, reduce manual effort and maintain control as mobile estates grow. Working together with Android and BT, we’re helping businesses improve user experience by removing unnecessary complexity and making large-scale Android deployments faster and more consistent.”
Sally Fuller, Mobile and Unified Mobility Director at BT said: “Customers want devices that are ready when their people need them. Working with Android and Ivanti has allowed us to create a simple and reliable way to switch on connectivity across Android devices. It removes processes which can slow organisations down and replaces it with a single digital process that works sustainably and at scale.”
