KTC describes its MegPad A32Q7Pro as a portable, smart touchscreen monitor that blends features of smart displays, large tablets, and monitors. It is designed to fill a niche between traditional device categories.
These large Android-powered devices on wheels are part of a growing trend supported by Google’s Enterprise Devices Licensing Agreement (EDLA), launched in 2022. EDLA expands Google Mobile Services (GMS) certification beyond smartphones, tablets, TVs, and wearables to include enterprise devices like smart boards.
Third-party manufacturers such as BenQ, Kefeya, Apolosign, Innocn, and DuraPro have embraced EDLA to offer secure access to Google apps, including Google Drive, Gmail, Google Play Store, and YouTube, on their devices. This certification guarantees regular updates, security, and data protection, creating a more stable environment compared to open app ecosystems.
Many EDLA-certified devices serve educational markets, using interactive large displays. However, products like the MegPad also target businesses, leveraging Google services to improve user experience and facilitate e-commerce.
Google benefits from expanding GMS certification through EDLA by increasing Android adoption in new device categories, gaining customer data, and broadening its ecosystem beyond traditional smaller-screen devices.
