Mobile device management

Simple, flexible MDM for work phones and tablets

Lightweight, security-focused MDM for iOS and Android. Every phone and tablet inventoried, located, and locked down under the same policies as the laptops beside them.

Tether MDM is included with every laptop and desktop seat. No separate license, no per-device add-on.

Many devices don't warrant full MDM

Organizations whose devices don't enroll through Apple Business Manager or Android zero-touch usually need basic device governance: an owner of record, location tracking, inventory data for ITAM, and enforced security baselines. They don't need app lifecycle management, patch orchestration, or a library of configuration profiles. The OS handles most of these tasks natively, and many MDMs cost more to run than the hardware is worth.

The solution

Security-focused MDM, included with your subscription

Tether MDM covers the things that matter when a device leaves the building: know it exists, know where it is, and know it is locked. Enrollment takes minutes, the policies live beside your laptop policies, and it comes with the seats you already pay for.

Hardware inventory

Model, serial, OS version, storage, battery health, and assigned user for every enrolled phone and tablet — the same asset record your laptops get.

Location and history

Current location plus location history, so a missing device is a search rather than a write-off.

Security baseline

Require a passcode, confirm device encryption is on, and flag devices running an OS version you no longer allow.

Lock, locate, wipe

Remote lock with a custom message, lost mode, and remote wipe when a device is gone for good.

Enrollment that scales

Automated enrollment for company-owned hardware, and a self-enroll link for devices already in the field.

Reporting and audit

Fleet-wide compliance and assignment reports across mobile and computers together, ready for an auditor.

Owner Profiles

Cover all ownership models

Most fleets are a mix. Company tablets on a shared cart, phones people bought themselves, and a stipend program somewhere in between. Each gets a different level of control, and the boundary is visible to both sides.

Corporate-owned

Full device management

Automated enrollment, full inventory and location, enforced security baseline, and every response action available.

SHARED CARTS · KIOSKS · FIELD TABLETS
BYOD

Work data only

Management stops at the work profile. You see compliance state and can remove company data; personal photos, apps, and location stay out of scope.

PERSONAL PHONES · CONTRACTORS
Hybrid

One fleet, two rulebooks

Run both models side by side in the same console. Policies attach to the ownership type, so a stipend phone never gets treated like a warehouse tablet.

Is MDM really included with our seats?
+

Yes. Mobile device management is part of every laptop and desktop seat. There is no separate mobile license and no per-device charge for the phones and tablets you enroll.

Which platforms are supported?
+

iOS and iPadOS, and Android phones and tablets. Mobile devices appear in the same console and the same reports as your Windows and macOS computers.

Can we use it on employee-owned phones?
+

Yes. BYOD enrollment manages the work profile only. You get compliance state and the ability to remove company data; personal apps, media, and location remain outside your view.

Does remote wipe destroy personal data?
+

On a BYOD device, a wipe removes the work profile and its data — the personal side of the phone is untouched. On corporate-owned devices, a full wipe returns the device to factory state.

Can Tether run alongside other MDMs?
+

No. Android and iOS devices only allow one MDM management profile to be installed per-device. If you're happy with your current MDM, you can keep it and still run Tether on your laptops, desktops and servers.

How long does enrollment take?
+

Minutes per device with a self-enroll link, or zero-touch for company-owned hardware purchased through Apple Business Manager or Android Enterprise.
