English term or phrase: device-agnostic

description of a communication suite:

...making the idea of a seamless, *device-agnostic* communications suite happen, i.e. giving the customer control full control over its communication channels (voice, messaging, email etc.) via a single application...

This is obviously a commonly used English term, but I do not know what the German equivalent is. I have googled 'geräteagnostisch' with poor results.

Any suggestions?

Oder wenn's genauer sein soll hardwareunabhängig, da sich plattformunabhängig auch ausschließlich auf das OS beziehen kann
