HOW DOES FIRMWARE CUSTOMIZATION WORK?JACS Solutions’ approach to firmware customization begins with locking down the enterprise applications at the Operating System (OS) level. This allows JACS to not only provide better security and longer lifecycles, but also include just the applications that are necessary for the tasks your device needs to complete. The final result, a custom operating system or firmware image to meet your specific needs. JACS full firmware customization includes, but is not limited to the following:

JACS SOLUTIONSFIRMWARE CUSTOMIZATIONCUSTOM-BUILT FUNCTIONALITY & SECURITY FOR A BETTER BUSINESS SOLUTIONOff-the-shelf devices offer features and capabilities built for mass production and never quite fit unique business needs. JACS Firmware Customization means your business never has to settle. We offer unmatched firmware customization so that what you receive is a purpose-built device that’s going to get the job done right.

Removal of bloatware and other unwanted apps for faster processing and minimized vulnerabilities

Installation of Apps to the system partition to avoid removal or modification, enhancing performance

Application installation restrictions for greater security

Manipulation of default Android system settings to better fit your needs

Custom OS launcher which can lock device into “kiosk mode” to prevent unauthorized access

Custom boot screen, logo, wallpaper, and buttons can be displayed

Loading of custom firmware onto each device/display before it’s shipped for configuration-free deployment

System modification to provide better security from the application layer down to Android kernel security

BENEFITS OF CUSTOM FIRMWAREHighly Secure. With the ability to offer a higher level of control over the Android source code, JACS can exclude elements of the OS that will introduce vulnerabilities and security risks to the overall solution, offering a more secure approach than off-the-shelf products and the standard MDM service.

Easy Deployment. Configuring each device is time and resource consuming. By customizing the firmware at the OS level, it eliminates the need to set up each device manually. Every device is ready to be deployed out of the box, saving time and money.

Controlled User Experience. When your device firmware is built from the ground up with you in mind, it provides a more straightforward and controlled user experience. Users are also unlikely to access unwanted apps or trigger

unwarranted data usage.

JACS FIRMWARE CUSTOMIZATION VS. MDM

LEVEL OF SECURITY NEED FOR CONNECTIVITY ENGINEERING RESOURCE

MDM

JACS CUSTOM FIRMWARE

MDM locks down the device at the application layer, leaving the device backdoor open and exposed to vulnerabilities.

MDM functions through an online platform to remote configure and retrieve the device status. Any disruption to online connectivity will cause issues.

MDM requires you to have dedicated engineering resources to manage the MDM solution.

JACS locks down the device at the kernel layer and can be locked down all the way up to the application layer. This closes the backdoor and removes workarounds.

JACS performs device firmware lockdown on each device prior to shipping. Once the devices are deployed there is no need for remote management and constant check up.

JACS removes the need for dedicated engineers, saving time and money.

CUSTOM FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

PHASE 1: DISCOVERYWe will work hand-in-hand with you to determine your vision for the end solution.

PHASE 3: STATEMENT OF WORKA statement of work (SOW) is created and submitted to you for review and signed approval.

PHASE 2: EVALUATIONOur R&D team will evaluate your firmware specifications and determine their feasibilities.

PHASE 4: DEVELOPMENT & VALIDATIONWe get busy creating your firmware. Once done, we will upload it on your demo device for testing.
