As Android moves beyond consumer devices into business-owned edge systems, enterprises and OEMs are standardizing on AOSP-based Android on Intel x86 for control, security, and lifecycle governance. This shift is visible in next-generation POS systems, kiosks, and self-service terminals requiring commercial-scale reliability. Android on Intel x86 lets OEMs launch Android-first product lines for retail, restaurant, payments, and industrial use cases, combining Android's developer ecosystem with Intel's performance and long-term platform availability.
Esper delivers the enterprise Android control plane making AOSP on Intel x86 viable at scale. Esper Foundation enables Android on Intel x86 across diverse POS and kiosk hardware, while Esper's OTA and device management infrastructure supports secure provisioning, OS/application updates, policy enforcement, and fleet visibility. From factory enrollment to controlled rollouts and in-field recovery, Esper enables Android devices to ship and operate as production infrastructure.
With Esper, OEMs and enterprises standardize how Android is built, deployed, and operated across multiple Intel-based hardware SKUs, accelerating time to market while maintaining deployment consistency. Teams can focus differentiation at the application layer rather than rebuilding platform operations for every device. Esper also supports Linux and Windows-based Intel x86 systems, enabling unified lifecycle management across mixed environments.
This session explores how enterprises and OEMs are launching Android-based POS and kiosk product lines on Intel x86, operational requirements for running Android at commercial scale, and how Esper and Intel together enable enterprise-grade Android deployments ready for AI-enabled and data-driven edge applications.

Chief Evangelist, Esper Keith's a builder who connects systems spanning technical, organizational, and human. The kind who sketches the blueprint, lays the bricks, and quietly makes sure it scales before the foundation sets. His work lives at the intersection of device management, secure operating systems, and emerging AI at the edge, where reliability and innovation have to coexist. Keith focuses on platforms that serve IT Operators and engineers who keep revenue-critical systems running 24/7.Over the years Keith has rotated through almost every seat...product, GTM, partnerships, customer success, even product turnarounds. The pattern is the same: find the signal, align the system, and clear the way for others to win. Keith doesn't lead through authority; he leads through alignment and momentum. These days that means shaping how Esper and the broader ecosystem defines the next era of intelligent, dedicated device management.
