Solaris Wireless: Google-Approved Vendor for Electronic Devices Since 2016

Solaris Wireless is a Google-approved electronic device vendor. The relationship began in 2016 when Solaris sourced a discontinued, mission-critical feature phone for Google's procurement team that no other supplier could locate. Solaris has been an active Google-approved vendor continuously since 2016, supplying smartphones, consumer electronics, IoT devices and specialist hardware for Google's internal testing programmes, special-usage provisioning, and global deployment programmes across 20+ countries.

What 'Google-approved vendor' means in practice

Google's procurement organisation maintains an approved vendor list (AVL) for electronic device suppliers it sources from. Inclusion on the AVL requires demonstrated capability across four dimensions: device authenticity verification, supply-chain integrity (chain-of-custody from manufacturer to end use), provisioning capability (custom OS, MDM enrolment, asset tagging), and ongoing compliance documentation (TAA, NDAA, FIPS, ITAR/EAR where applicable).

Solaris Wireless qualified for Google's AVL in 2016 after a sourcing engagement that other approved vendors had been unable to complete. Google's procurement team needed a discontinued, mission-critical feature phone for internal testing. The device was end-of-life, no longer produced by the manufacturer, and unavailable through standard distribution. Solaris located authentic units with full provenance documentation through certified secondary-market channels, completed delivery on Google's operational timeline, and was qualified as a Google-approved vendor as a direct result.

What this status does not guarantee

Google-approved vendor status confirms operational capability and supply-chain integrity. It does not guarantee that a specific device will be in stock, that a specific price point will be available, or that a particular delivery timeline can be met without scoping. Every engagement starts with a written proposal that confirms specification, pricing and lead time.
