Elo’s Next Generation Android Devices Delivers Powerful Enterprise-Readines with Greater Flexibility

Elo, a leading global provider of Android-powered interactive devices, today announced the enhanced I-Series 4 and Backpack 4 products. This update brings the power and convenience of Android 10, Google Mobile Services (GMS), and a suite of enterprise tools enabling flexibility in device management. The fourth-generation products reinforce Elo as the trusted Enterprise Android platform across industries from retail and healthcare to hospitality and manufacturing.

“The Elo name has become synonymous with reliable Android devices built for business applications around the world,” said Craig Witsoe, CEO, Elo. “With twice the performance of the previous generation and the addition of an entirely new processor option, our next gen portfolio provides more choice, greater flexibility and literally thousands of possible configurations for interactive solutions.”

Secure, flexible, and powerful, the fourth-generation platform I-Series and Backpack devices can be configured with a high performance 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor or the 6-core Rockchip processor. Elo’s lineup of Android devices has been designed to help enterprise customers find the right hardware solution for a greater range of uses.

I-Series 4

One of Elo’s most popular products, the new I-Series all-in-one devices boast a sleek thin design with easier enterprise management capabilities of Android 10, optional Google Mobile Services (GMS) and OEMConfig. The 10-, 15- and 22-inches display sizes are all Elo Edge Connect ready with the ability to mount peripherals on any of the four sides making them perfect for virtually any application. The new I-Series devices also feature an 8MP camera, faster Wi-Fi, USB-C plus optional power-over-ethernet (POE) providing the possibility of a streamlined single cable install.

Elo Backpack^® 4

Elo’s Android-powered compute engine, the Elo Backpack 4, enables customers to transform touchscreens of any size and format into an affordable, scalable, single-architecture media platform. Now with VESA mounting compatibility and an even smaller form factor, the Backpack can easily attach to Elo’s broad range of 10- to 65-inch interactive display products, giving customers the flexibility to create virtually any interactive application using a single platform.
