Use Cases ##
We want to manage a lot of Android devices and had previously used MDM (mobile device management) software such as *
AirDroid and ScaleFusion*. These tools aren't free ($$) but more importantly trying to remote control/view an
Android device was often a very slow and choppy experience.
So, instead we took a different approach. Instead of running MDM software on every individual Android device, we
connected all of the devices to a single macbook laptop using multiple 16-port USB hubs. The Macbook is
running Splashtop remote control software. I can now remote login and using Android Device
Manager control all of the devices with very little to no lag.
