As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues its march across the world, manufacturers have embraced new ways to remotely and reliably update devices in the field. Considering there are forecast to be more than 41 billion connected IoT devices by 2025, keeping them updated with the latest software and firmware is essential.
That’s where over-the-air (OTA) updates come in. OTA update refers to the practices of remotely updating the software or firmware of a connected IoT device. This saves IT staff time and effort as they can push updates to a fleet of devices at once.
