Sasken Joins Microsoft's MDEP To Support Device Development

Sasken Technologies has partnered with Microsoft to integrate its engineering services with the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), an Android-based platform designed to enhance security and manageability in enterprise devices.

This collaboration, announced last week, follows Sasken's acquisition of Borqs Technologies' Connected Devices business, bolstering its capabilities in embedded systems and IoT solutions.

Through this alliance, Sasken will offer comprehensive product development services -- including hardware design, platform porting, application development and lifecycle support -- on MDEP. The goal is to assist OEMs and ODMs in accelerating the development of secure, collaboration-focused devices.

Microsoft's MDEP provides a standardized Android environment, addressing issues like fragmentation and inconsistent security updates that have historically challenged device manufacturers. MDEP has seen growing adoption among manufacturers such as Jabra, Yealink and Lenovo, which are leveraging the platform to deliver consistent and secure user experiences across their device portfolios.
