TLS-1.2 or higher encryption cypher is required for all connectivity with the IBSS platform. Older insecure encryption ciphers are now disabled by Microsoft, hence, very old or unsupported devices will be unable to connect. Any browser and OS used on your active devices must meet this minimum requirement.
The IBSS platform supports the following Mobile OS for Inspire together with the following specifications.

Preferred deployment method
There are 2 methods of deployment that can be used to distribute IBSS apps to hardware devices.
Client MDM
As these devices will typically be sitting on an IT network and within a client building, the natural ownership of the devices falls under the client IT department. Employing Mobile Device Management allows the IT department to centrally manage the security of these devices.
By using an MDM tool, the IT department can centrally push the IBSS Apps to the devices. The app .apk file will be provided by ICONICS to the IT department for verification and deployment.
AV Supplier or Client IT
Where ownership/responsibility of the devices does not lie with the client IT department, the AV supplier or client can deploy the IBSS Apps onto the devices. For this to work, the selected device must have an appropriate App Store on the device. Supported App Stores include:
- Google Play Store
Deployment support
Devices will often be classified as GMS or Non-GMS. GMS refers to Google Mobile Services. Where Android Play can be used to control and deploy updated APKs in a controlled manner. At present Inspire will only work if sideloaded directly on to the device. We will be release a new version of Inspire in the future to support direct GMS availability via the Android Play store. Updates will be provided to this article when this version becomes available.
Device testing
As ICONICS does not supply hardware, we are only able to provide information on previously tested devices and cannot make recommendations on device suitability as this would typically fall under the remit of an AV consultant. It is advised that the applications are tested on a single device against a representative system before commissioning.
⚠️ Set the time zone on the device to match the time zone for the building.
