The 8821: Designed for Rugged Industrial Settings

The 8821 is specifically designed for workers whose roles are in more rigorous, industrial settings. Examples of ideal use cases include nurses and doctors in healthcare, operations and engineering staff in manufacturing, customer service representatives in retail, service staff such as maids in hospitality, and workers on rigs in the oil and chemical industries.

While the 8821 is sleek and lightweight, the design is hardened for users. It is Ingress Protection standard (IP67) rated and sealed for protection against dust, splash, and water. The device is also MIL-STD-810G tested, with a dozen drops onto concrete from heights of up to 5 feet (1.5 m), to help ensure shock resistance and avoid breakage if dropped.

The 8821 enhances security and simplifies configuration management. It supports stronger encryption for certificate management and policy enablement with the support of Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2). Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) eases IT administration by enabling automatic certificate enrollment, making it easier to manage devices.
