Understanding Chrome Enterprise device management

For Chrome devices, like Chromebits, Chromeboxes, Chromebases, and Chromebooks, using Fugo in kiosk mode is highly recommended. This ensures a single, secure app and automatic relaunch in case of issues.

To run Fugo on Chrome devices, you'll need a Chrome license. You have two options: an annual Chrome Enterprise license priced at $25 per device or a perpetual license at $150. You can obtain these licenses through Google's partners, which offer enhanced device management.

These licenses provide access to Chrome Enterprise, a set of device management features that require integration with Google Workspace.

Setting up Google Workspace involves integrating your domain and creating an administrator account. You can choose Business editions for small teams or specific deployments for nonprofits or educational institutions.

You'll find a breakdown of what's needed & costs in our set up guide here.

⚠️ If you don't use kiosk mode, Fugo will run as a Chrome extension with performance limitations and no auto-start capability.

For this reason, we highly recommend a Chrome Enterprise Upgrade or Kiosk & Signage Upgrade to run Fugo optimally.

Minimum requirements

  • A Chrome Enterprise license (see here)

  • A device with still 1 year or more till its Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date (see here) (preferably 3 years or higher)

  • Dual-core processor or higher (preferably quad-core processor or higher)

  • 2 GB of RAM or higher (preferably 4 GB of RAM or higher)

  • 8 GB of storage or higher (preferably 32 or 64 GB of storage or higher)

Recommended, supported & unsupported devices

Chromeboxes

Chromeboxes are desktop replacement units that are built using Chrome OS. They are lightweight and generally lack some of the processing power found in a Windows computer, but there are a few models that we recommend that work well with Fugo.

Supported and recommended for new purchases

Supported but not recommended for new purchases

  • AOpen Chromebox Mini

  • AOpen Chromebox Commercial

  • Asus Chromebit CS10

  • Acer Chromebox CXI4

  • HP Chromebox G3

Chromebases & Chrome Signboards

A Chromebase is an all-in-one PC that has a touch screen and similar functionality to an all-in-one PC. These are good for self service terminals and kiosks that allow users to interact with a touch screen.
