Subscription — Zebra Device Guardian 1 year (BLE) — Device monitoring and security service

Zebra Device Guardian 1 year Subscription (BLE) delivers continuous device monitoring and security for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled Zebra endpoints. The subscription covers threat detection, device health reporting, policy enforcement and alerting to help maintain operational continuity and reduce downtime for mobile scanners, wearable computers and other BLE devices used in retail, warehousing and field service operations.

Advantages

The subscription centralizes BLE device visibility and security controls so administrators can monitor device health and activity in real time. Automated threat detection and configurable alerts help identify anomalous behaviour and potential security issues quickly. Integrated policy enforcement ensures devices conform to configured operational and security settings, while health reports support proactive maintenance and reduce unexpected failures. Technical support and managed service options are included to simplify deployment and ongoing management.

Suitable for

• Retail environments using BLE-enabled mobile scanners and wearable devices for point-of-sale, inventory and shelf service.
• Warehouses that rely on BLE endpoints for scanning, asset tracking and picking workflows.
• Field service operations where technicians use BLE devices for diagnostics, work orders and connectivity to backend systems.
• IT teams that need centralized monitoring, policy enforcement and alerts for fleets of Zebra BLE devices.

When it may not be suitable

This subscription is focused specifically on BLE-enabled Zebra endpoints and their operational and security management; it is not designed for non-BLE devices or third-party endpoints that do not support Zebra BLE management features. Organizations requiring broader network security controls outside of device-level BLE monitoring should consider complementary network or endpoint security solutions.

Key specifications

• Coverage duration: 1 year subscription for BLE device monitoring and security services.
• Device scope: Designed for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled Zebra endpoints such as mobile scanners and wearables.
• Features: Threat detection, device health reporting, policy enforcement and alerting.
• Support: Standard technical support and managed services options included with the subscription.
• Deployment: Cloud-based management and centralized monitoring for device fleets.

How to use

Purchase and activate the subscription for the target fleet of BLE-enabled Zebra devices. Enroll each compatible device in the Device Guardian service following Zebra provisioning steps, configure monitoring policies and thresholds, and enable alerting channels for operational teams. Use the management console to review device health reports, investigate detected threats or anomalies and apply or update policies centrally. Ensure devices have up-to-date firmware and BLE settings to maintain compatibility with the service.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that devices intended for monitoring are BLE-enabled Zebra endpoints and supported by Zebra Device Guardian.
• Confirm subscription start date and the number of devices to be enrolled to ensure adequate coverage.
• Assess integration requirements with existing management consoles and backend systems.
• Plan for firmware and configuration updates needed to enable full monitoring and policy enforcement.

Usage recommendations

Keep device firmware current, define clear monitoring policies and configure alert recipients to ensure timely response. Combine Device Guardian BLE monitoring with device lifecycle and network security practices to achieve comprehensive operational resilience for Zebra BLE fleets.
