10 min read

TL;DR

Remotely manage and configure Bluebird devices using BOS™ OEMConfig through Applivery, leveraging Android Enterprise for policy enforcement.

bluebird-logo

BOS™ OEMConfig is Bluebird's enterprise-grade configuration tool that enables IT administrators to remotely manage and fine-tune Device behavior at a system level. Through integration with Applivery, BOS™ OEMConfig leverages Android Enterprise's managed configurations framework to apply granular controls over Bluebird-specific hardware and software components.

Administrators can define and enforce advanced Device Policies — including network parameters, application management, security restrictions, and kiosk mode behavior — all from a centralized management Dashboard. This integration ensures full compliance, consistent Device performance, and streamlined control across the entire Bluebird Device fleet.

Getting started

Once in the Applivery Dashboard, go to any of your Policies (1). From the left side menu, go to Apps (2) and click the + Add App button (3).

Search for the BOS™ OEMConfig App and select the one from Bluebird Inc. (package name: com.bluebird.android.oemconfig). Set the Install Type to Force Installed to ensure the App is automatically installed on any Device associated with the Policy.

Once the App appears in the list, click on it to expand all the managed properties and configure them according to your requirements.
