Zebra ZS2-AWCN-100 AirWatch Connector Mobile Device Management
Overview
The Zebra ZS2-AWCN-100 is an AirWatch Connector designed to enable mobile device management (MDM) integration within enterprise environments. This connector facilitates communication between Zebra mobile computers and AirWatch management platforms, allowing IT departments to configure, monitor, and secure devices across distributed operations. The ZS2-AWCN-100 is particularly suited for organizations managing fleets of Zebra mobile devices that require centralized policy enforcement and real-time visibility.
As a wired connectivity solution, the ZS2-AWCN-100 establishes a bridge between your mobile computing infrastructure and AirWatch cloud services. This product type delivers the management layer necessary for large-scale deployments where device compliance, remote configuration, and lifecycle management are critical operational requirements.
Key Features and Capabilities
- AirWatch Integration: Native connector enabling seamless communication between Zebra mobile computers and VMware AirWatch management platforms
- Device Management: Centralized configuration, provisioning, and policy deployment across mobile device fleets
- Wired Connectivity: Reliable hardwired connection architecture for stable, predictable management communications
- 24/5 Care Support: Dedicated technical support with 24-hour availability, 5 days per week, ensuring rapid issue resolution during business-critical periods
- 1-Year Support Term: Comprehensive support coverage included for a full 12-month period from activation
- Enterprise-Grade Reliability: Designed to support mission-critical mobile device deployments in warehouse, retail, logistics, and field service environments
Integration and Compatibility
The ZS2-AWCN-100 AirWatch Connector integrates directly with Zebra mobile computer platforms, enabling MDM capability without requiring additional middleware layers. Organizations using VMware AirWatch or Workspace ONE environments benefit from native management features including over-the-air (OTA) updates, application management, security policy enforcement, and real-time device status reporting.
This connector is designed for IT managers, mobile device fleet administrators, and systems integrators managing enterprise-scale Zebra device deployments. The wired connectivity model ensures reliable, low-latency management communication—a critical requirement in high-density warehouse and logistics operations where RF interference or network congestion could impact device control.
Support and Service Terms
The included 24/5 Care package delivers technical support during extended business hours, providing response and resolution assistance for configuration issues, integration challenges, or operational problems. The one-year support term ensures continuity of management capability throughout the initial deployment phase and beyond, reducing risk of unmanaged devices in production environments.
For organizations deploying Zebra mobile computers at scale, this connector represents the management infrastructure required to maintain security posture, enforce compliance policies, and optimize device lifecycle costs. Technical support availability during extended hours accommodates the operational schedules of 24/5 warehouse and distribution operations.

From a systems engineering perspective, the Zebra ZS2-AWCN-100 addresses a fundamental requirement in mobile device fleet management: centralized, reliable connectivity to your MDM platform. In warehouse and logistics environments, device management isn't optional—it's operational infrastructure. This connector ensures your Zebra mobile computers remain under management control, stay current with security patches, and comply with organizational policies.
Technical Highlights:
- Connector Architecture: Establishes direct AirWatch integration pathway, eliminating need for custom bridging solutions or third-party middleware
- Wired Reliability: Hardwired connectivity model provides deterministic, low-latency management communication independent of wireless network conditions
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your AirWatch or Workspace ONE environment is current before connector activation to ensure compatibility
- The 24/5 support model aligns well with distribution center operations; validate that support hours match your escalation protocols
If you're running Zebra mobile computers at scale and lack centralized MDM capability, the ZS2-AWCN-100 closes that gap efficiently. The one-year support term provides confidence during initial deployment and stabilization phases.
