Operator Workplace Support for Mobile Devices

Reference to document, 2PAA110154-510_-System_800xA_Operator_Workplace_Support_for_Mobile_Devices.pdf

I read that the only solutions available as mobile device is an iPad. Currently I am interested in installing WIndows 8 as mobile device. Are we ready for mobile Operator Workplace device other than iPad like Windows 8 and Android tablet.

Please advice. Thank you.

Technically any device that is capable of running a Remote Desktop Service (RDS) (Remote Desktop in Windows) application can be used as a wireless operator client connecting to Remote Terminal Services using the Remote Client licensing available in System 800xA. There is rumor that maybe there will be "standard" workplace configuration done for iPads, but not sure if that is really the case yet. Of course a workplace can be always be created to match the pixel resolution of any RDS hardware platform. Just be aware that without using a workplace built for the device resolution, a standard operator workplace will work, but the user may experience compression or other distortion effects on the display. But the workplace will function as it would on a hard connected client. Just keep in mind that if you have operating environments that are other than general purpose, there will be a limited number of devices you will be able to use in those atmospheres.

You can use any mobile device for that matter, but officially ABB supports ipad with Pocket Cloud application.

The support will begin from version 5.1 FP4.

Also technically, you can use any workplace for that matter but there is going to be a special workplace which can be downloaded from solutions bank (ipad operator workplace) that has been created to match the look and feel and resolution of an ipad.
