A device client is the mobile device a user employs to access your enterprise resources remotely. When a device becomes a client to the Unwired Platform, the device is given an ID, which is typically distinct from the device users identity.
| Client software | How its installed |
|---|---|
| Afaria client | Download and install this client to manage and provision devices with applications over-the-air (OTA). If you are using Afaria, this is required. |
| Messaging or mobile workflow runtimes |
Install the corresponding runtime (that is, use mobile applications that are using messaging-based synchronization, or mobile workflow forms on the device). |
| Messaging device application or mobile workflow forms | Developers create the native device application (messaging-based or replication-based synchronization)or mobile workflow form. Administrators provision and install device applications once the Afaria client is installed on the device. |
| Replication device application | Developers create the device application. Like the messaging application, administrators provision and install device applications once the Afaria client is installed on the device. |
