ODM/Charging & Deployment Logistics
-
How does Pretech customize the charging solution to address the logistical challenges of large tablet deployments in schools?
The solution's core feature is the customized Charging Rack (Dock), which we design and manufacture to support bulk charging and secure storage. We customize the tablets with specific charging contacts (e.g., pogo pins, not standard Mini USB) to ensure reliable, high-volume charging efficiency, significantly simplifying device management for school IT staff.
-
Are the charging racks customizable to fit existing school infrastructure or to secure the tablets?
Yes. As an ODM manufacturer, we design the charging racks to specific client needs—customizing capacity, dimensions (GEO-specific to fit existing carts or cabinets), and security features like locking mechanisms. The goal is to provide a fully integrated solution that manages power delivery, storage, and security for hundreds of devices efficiently.
Dual-Size Strategy & User Roles
-
Why are two different screen sizes (8-inch and 10.1-inch) offered, and how are they optimized for their respective users?
This dual-size strategy differentiates user roles: the 8-inch is typically for students (easier to handle, lower cost), and the 10.1-inch is for teachers (better for lesson planning, grading, and presentation). We customize the software and pre-installed applications to align with the needs of the respective user—for example, teacher tablets get gradebook and communication tools, while student tablets focus on interactive content.
-
Can the hardware specifications (RAM/Storage/CPU) be customized based on the budget or performance needs of different educational tiers?
Absolutely. While the base uses the cost-effective MT8163 CPU with 2GB RAM and 16GB Storage, we offer ODM customization to upgrade these specifications (e.g., more RAM/storage) to meet the performance demands of higher educational tiers or specific curricula, ensuring a tailored, budget-conscious solution for any region.
Software & Classroom Focus
-
How is the Android OS customized for easy classroom use and effective Mobile Device Management (MDM)?
We provide deep firmware customization to ensure the tablets are pre-installed with necessary education apps and support MDM strategies. This involves tailoring the boot sequence, simplifying the user interface (Kiosk mode optional), and implementing specific OS controls that allow school IT to manage apps, secure settings, and monitor usage seamlessly, without student interference.
-
Given the focus on learning, how are connectivity and camera features tailored for essential classroom functions?
Connectivity is optimized for school environments with reliable Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and BT 4.0. The cameras (Front 0.3MP, Rear 2MP) are configured primarily for basic video conferencing and documenting simple assignments, reflecting a focus on core learning and budget efficiency rather than high-end multimedia creation, which reduces component cost and complexity for mass deployment.
