Mobile-Only Success
Mobile-Only is a reality
In recent years, the shift toward mobile-only computing has gained serious traction — and two major players are proving that it’s not just a concept, but a real operational strategy: the Chicago Police Department and Thales, the global technology leader in defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity.
At the heart of this transformation is Samsung DeX, a powerful solution that turns a smartphone into a full desktop computing experience. Together with purpose-built accessories and strategic integrations, Samsung DeX is enabling a new era of secure, productive, and portable workflows for professionals in the field.
Chicago Police Department: Real-Time Policing with Mobile-First Devices
The Chicago Police Department (CPD) is one of the earliest law enforcement agencies in the U.S. to deploy Samsung DeX at scale. Instead of relying on traditional rugged laptops or vehicle-mounted systems, officers now carry Samsung smartphones that serve as:
Body-worn cameras
Data terminals
Communication hubs
Full desktop workstations via Samsung DeX
When connected to vehicle docks or in-station monitors, officers can instantly switch from field mode to desk mode — without changing devices.
Key Benefits:
Faster report writing from the field
Reduced equipment costs
Streamlined evidence management
Improved situational awareness with real-time access to video and case files
The CPD’s deployment is a textbook example of mobile-only efficiency, reducing reliance on bulky laptops and increasing agility in day-to-day operations.
Thales: Secure Mobile Operations Powered by Samsung DeX
Thales, a global leader in high-security communications and defense systems, is also championing the mobile-only movement with Samsung DeX.
In environments where security, mobility, and productivity must coexist — such as military bases, mobile command units, and classified facilities — Thales is integrating DeX with its secure communications platform, enabling staff to:
Access secure environments from a single device
Deploy mobile command centers in minutes
Use classified apps in desktop mode with full encryption
Dock smartphones to operate in high-security environments without exposing sensitive data to traditional desktops
This approach reduces the attack surface of traditional computing setups while allowing personnel to remain mobile, flexible, and fully operational.
We bring our ideas to life through innovation and creativity. Every concept we envision is carefully developed and transformed into something tangible. Our focus is on making our ideas a reality, driving progress and change with each project.
