Platform

Runs on any Android. Deployed anywhere.

GMS-certified or fully custom AOSP, Hive speaks the same policy language to every device. And the control plane itself runs wherever your infrastructure rules require: multi-tenant cloud, private cloud, your own data centre, or a network that never sees the internet.

The platform

One platform, six building blocks

Six building blocks that plug straight into fleet management and security & compliance: configure once, and every device inherits it.

Android, both ways

Two Android worlds, one console

Every device Hive manages runs Android: some with Google Mobile Services, some without. Full setup details live in the documentation.

Android Enterprise (GMS)

Managed Google Play, zero-touch enrollment, and work-profile support: the fastest path onto the platform, and a natural pairing with application management.

AOSP & Custom Devices

A platform-signed agent for devices running AOSP, custom ROMs, or OEM firmware without GMS. The default path for OEM and custom Android hardware manufacturers.
