IS530 and IS930 series receive OTA upgrade to Android™ 14
23 October 2024
i.safe MOBILE focuses not only on the durability of its products, but also on safety and supports its customers with durable mobile devices for use in potentially explosive environments.
In order to meet the high requirements and expectations of our customers and the industry, the IS530 and IS930 device series, which have been on the market since 2019/2020, will be upgraded to Android 14 in 2025. The upgrade will enable security patches and bug fixes to be provided until 2027, thus extending the life cycle and useful life by a further two years. The devices remain up to date and are compatible with standard applications.
The international industry and innovation leader thus offers customers of the IS530.x smartphone and IS930.x tablet the unique opportunity to receive security patches and bug fixes for a full 8 years after the market launch in 2019/2020.
In order to provide customers with a standardized platform for device management and update management, all Android-based i.safe MOBILE smartphones and tablets will be upgraded to Android 14 in the course of 2025. The upgrades will start with the IS540.x at the end of 2024, followed by the IS940.x in the first half of 2025. The IS530 and IS930 series will then be upgraded to Android 14 later in 2025.
As part of its long-term product strategy, i.safe MOBILE is offering security updates and bug fixes for the IS440, IS540 and IS940 device series until 2030.
