The Cedar CT8 Rugged Tablet offers powerful functionality at an affordable price. Touting a lightning-fast Qualcomm processor, Android 8.1 OS, and a bright, high-resolution screen for outdoor visibility, the Cedar CT8 is an impressive tool for mobile data collection. The Cedar CT8 comes with battery swap capability that ensures it will outlast a long day on the job, while its sleek, lightweight design helps users avoid fatigue.

Rated IP67, the Cedar CT8 Rugged Tablet is dustproof, waterproof, and shockproof. Its impressive processor pairs with a large 8-inch screen to give users a powerful option for any mobile data collection need.

PROCESSING POWER
The high-speed processor driving the CT8 makes it the most powerful Cedar tablet yet. The lightning-fast Qualcomm processor inside the CT8 provides impressive processing speeds, display performance, image quality, and more.

VERSATILITY OF ANDROID
Running Android 8.1, the CT8 utilizes the Google Mobile Services to access and run an abundance of applications available on the Google Play Store. This versatile operating system pairs with the powerful Qualcomm processor to give users speed and functionality throughout long workdays.

GNSS CAPABILITIES
Built to utilize the powerful u-blox M8 GNSS chip, the CT8 provides precise GPS positioning for geo-located data collection. While many consumer tablets produce data accurate to within 3-10 meters, the CT8 produces data accurate to within 1 meter in open skies and 5 meters under a dense tree canopy.

BATTERY LIFE
The swappable lithium-ion battery packed in the CT8 provides a steady 8-hour battery life, ensuring a productive workday doesn't end because of a dead battery. The battery can be swapped with an additional battery for another 8 hours of battery life.

INTRODUCTION

The Internet of Things (IoT) has paved the way for millions of connected wireless devices to route information and get things done. The enabling technologies of the IoT allow connected devices to gather and send data, handle remote or risky tasks without human intervention, monitor assets to avoid unnecessary service calls, and gather critical information from widely dispersed and demanding environments.

To effectively manage a complex IoT deployment requires an IoT device management application that not only lets you visualize the activity of complex networks in a simplified form, but also provides these important capabilities:

Management: Manage large numbers of devices efficiently
Monitoring: Monitor IoT deployments and ensure all devices are operating as expected
Security: Continually scan the deployment for security issues and repair them.

These capabilities must be seamless across devices and third party applications from the cloud to the edge of the network. In this white paper we will talk about IoT management paradigms, and how a sophisticated remote management application, paired with a strong security framework, can help manage your connected world more efficiently and securely. We will also introduce the capabilities of Digi Remote Manager® (DRM), the Digi TrustFence® security framework, and the Digi Foundations hardware, management and support package.

 


Challenges in the Management of Connected Devices
The challenges involved in managing IoT devices are many and varied:

• Devices may be difficult to reach, such as those located at the top of a pole, on a remote highway, or out at sea. Once these devices are installed, it is inconvenient and expensive to go back and check on them or service them.
• Devices may be in motion - for example, if they are installed on a delivery vehicle or city bus. You need to be able to communicate with these devices while they are in transit, wherever the vehicle may be located.
• Your device network may be geographically diverse and deployed in large numbers. You need to be able to communicate with and manage devices on a large scale.

When identifying strategies for managing and servicing devices in your IoT deployment, it may help to think about them as being on another planet. Regardless of their locations, you will need to be able to monitor those devices, communicate with them, send commands to them, and update firmware and security patches across your entire network.
