Posiflex Technology Inc., a manufacturer of retail POS, kiosk, computing and self-service transaction peripherals, has received Android 10 GMS certification, applicable to the kiosk portfolio of both Posiflex and Kiosk Information Systems, according to a press release.

"By offering GMS certified kiosks, it allows Google Play and other GMS applications to be installed on our Android platforms," Posiflex CEO Owen Chen said in the release. "It streamlines onboarding onto Google's proven and secure network, while unlocking kiosk access to the full suite of applications in the Google Play Store."

Further, as mobile devices become increasingly pervasive in delivering retail and hospitality services, corporate mobile device management platforms rely on Android or iOS compatibility to optimize efficiencies within an edge device management ecosystem. This is not a problem when considering mobile devices and tablets, but robust kiosk solutions require greater durability and more ability to house transaction peripherals than are provided on commercial Android tablet devices. The Android 10 GMS certified kiosk platforms are equipped with sufficient computing and enough USB ports to power a kiosk platform with multiple integrated transaction peripherals.

"We have seen an increased demand among major retailers and hospitality clients for Android GMS capability to access Google Play Services to register and manage their kiosk fleet within their existing infrastructure," said Kiosk Information Systems President Kim Kenney in the release.
