What Is Google Mobile Services (GMS)?
Google Mobile Services (GMS) is a certified suite of Google apps and APIs — including Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Pay — that comes pre-installed on authorized Android devices.
Unlike standard Android, GMS-certified devices are verified by Google to meet strict standards for security, performance, and enterprise compatibility. For system integrators building POS and kiosk solutions, this certification is the foundation that makes reliable, secure, and manageable deployments possible.
Core Advantages GMS Delivers for Enterprise
GMS-certified devices outperform non-certified alternatives across four critical dimensions: security, manageability, app ecosystem, and developer integration.
Google Play Store Support
Easily deploy and manage approved business apps across your entire device fleet — remotely, silently, and always up to date.
Remote Device Management
Remotely configure, monitor, and control all your POS terminals and kiosks from a single console, no on-site visits needed.
Regular Security Updates
Guaranteed security patches within 30 days of release, keeping your payment devices compliant and protected without extra effort.
Essential APIs&Frameworks
Tap into Google's ready-built tools — including Google Pay and authentication APIs — so your team can integrate faster and build with confidence.
Why GMS Is Important
for Payment Termails?
In payment transaction environments, security is not optional — it's foundational. GMS certification provides the multi-layered protection that every point-of-sale terminal demands.
POS terminals and self-service kiosks in retail, food service, transportation, and financial services process thousands of consumer card and mobile payment transactions every day. A single compromised device can expose cardholder data, trigger service outages, and create direct legal liability. GMS-certified devices address this threat holistically — from the firmware up — through Google's integrated security stack.
Advantech's GMS-Ready Devices
Multiple Temperature Support SATA & NVMe SSDs for EV Charger
Project Introduction
The widening adoption of EV, BEV, and HEV are increasing demands for charging stations at garages or in outdoor public parking lots. These charging stations need storage solutions that support efficient and reliable operation at a wide range of operating temperatures. The Advantech SQFlash 650 SATA and 720 NVMe SSD solutions are excellent choices for such applications.
Project Requirements
Electric vehicles often have a limited charge capacity that runs out after several hours of driving. Fast, effective, and stable charging services are necessary for their successful operation. This makes system storage solutions capable of enduring wide operating temperatures and outdoor operation crucial.
- SSDs need to function stably in diverse environments
- They need to endure constant, daily use for years on end
Project Description
The Advantech SQFlash 650 SATA and 720 NVMe SSDs is an excellent solution for such applications. These SSD use KIOXIA’s BiCS 3D NAND Flash technology and support up to 2 TB per drive capacity at different temperature ranges (between -40 - 85 °C). Whether applied in private garages or outdoor parking lots, EV charging stations must be capable enduring different environments. Advantech SQFlash 650 SATA and 720 NVMe SSDs are capable of robust operation in such situations. The SQFlash 650 SATA and 720 NVMe SSD with a sTLC comprises a high-endurance product selection with an up to 50k program erase cycle that supports reliable 24/7 operation over long periods of time. SQFlash 650 SATA, and 720 NVMe sTLC SSD are used in parking lot or EV charging stations with high turnover rates.
