At Omnissa, we know the importance of robust device management in today’s frontline environments, which is why we’re excited to share that Omnissa now supports integration with Zebra LifeGuard Over the Air (OTA).1 Formerly FOTA Manager or FotaMgr, Zebra LifeGuard OTA allows administrators to perform operating system (OS) updates on Zebra devices without a physical connection.
With Omnissa Workspace ONE and Zebra LifeGuard OTA working together, customers can update their Zebra devices — from a single pane of glass, allowing IT to manage their fleet from a unified dashboard. Administrators no longer need to sideload OS upgrade images or rely on users to update devices manually which reduces the risk of applying the wrong image to the device. This not only simplifies the update process but also provides tighter granular control over your devices and helps ensure each unit operates at peak performance.
Additionally, Workspace ONE and Zebra LifeGuard OTA can show available OS images directly from Zebra services per device model, making it easier for administrators to apply the correct updates. This integration enhances deployment tracking and gives organizations visibility into the state of their Zebra updates — whether the upgrades were successful, in progress, canceled, or failed. This transparency enables administrators to take a proactive approach to management and minimizes downtime.

By leveraging both Workspace ONE and Zebra’s LifeGuard OTA, organizations can achieve greater reliability and performance from their Zebra Android devices. Explore how Omnissa and Zebra LifeGuard OTA can transform the management of your Zebra devices today!
