Its mobile device management system also boasts remote control, silent installation of applications and hardware and software functions lock-down capabilities.
We also back up the tablet’s workplace flexibility and vertical integration potential with the right hardware and features.

Meanwhile, personnel can stay mobile throughout the day with up to 12 hours of battery life,1 along with a full suite of on-the-go features such as full USB on-the-go for easily connecting external storage, Y- and T- connectors, RJ45 cables or card readers.

TAB3 7 and TAB3 8: Engineered for the family
