Managing EDLA Touch Screens with Google Admin

[jpshaw282]

Hi

 

We are a Google for Education Fundaments school and are looking at introducing EDLA touch screens. Does anyone have any experience of managing these devices in Google Admin? At first glance it looks like endpoint management for andriod "mobile" devices, but unlike a personal mobiole phone with a school account on it we will need to allow different teachers to use the same device.

 

Regards

Jonathan,

 

I can only speak for us at BenQ, but on our EDLA models (currently in the UK that is the RP04 series) we have combined the stock EDLA system with our BenQ cloud services.

 

The BenQ cloud services are:

- IAM (Identity and Access Management) - this is where you can create your users, either manually, importing or configuring SSO (Google & Azure AD)

- DMS (Device Management Solution) - this is where you can control your screens, block Play Services, install apps, update firmware/apps and set your automated tasks

- AMS (Account Management System) - this is where you can configure "global" user policies, manage NFC (RP series only), set default backgrounds and allow users to set profile picture, connect cloud storage, pin apps, bookmarks to their account

- Broadcast - Allow for interrupt or scheduled messages to be displayed on one or more screens (these can be text, image/s, video, YouTube, YouTube Live, audio, PDFs, PowerPoint or Google Slides (via Google Drive)

 

There is no additional charge for any of these service on the BenQ interactive panel, you only need to have the screens connected to the internet and the RP04 series comes complete with our latest Wi-Fi dongle which supports Wi-Fi 6 & Bluetooth 5.2. You of course can use the included LAN port if you want to as well.

 

The RP04 series all features germ resistant screen and pens, tempered reinforced glass, environmental sensors - temperature, humidity, CO2, PM (2.5/10) & TVOC (all of which gets fed back in to DMS). They are available in 65", 75" & 86".

 

We recognise that these are costly investments, so we offer peace of mind with the warranty, if you register within 30 days of purchase your warranty will be upgraded to 5 year de/re-install (upgrade from 3 year de/re-install).

 

I'd be happy to provide a remote demo, and hopefully answer any questions you may have.

 

If you'd like to know more just drop me a DM.
