Protocols
OTA / OTA over Mesh
Simplify IoT device updates with OTA solutions, ensuring reliable and remote firmware deployment over Mesh networks.
What is OTA / OTA over Mesh?
Over-the-Air (OTA) technology allows the remote update and management of IoT devices, enabling seamless firmware upgrades, configuration adjustments, and troubleshooting without requiring physical access to the devices. OTA over Mesh extends this capability by leveraging Mesh networks—connecting multiple IoT devices to communicate efficiently over long distances, even in remote or distributed environments. This ensures that devices, especially those spread across large areas, stay up-to-date and perform optimally, improving both operational efficiency and user experience.
Applications:
Wearable Devices
Health monitoring systems, fitness trackers, and smart devices that require continuous software updates for new features and bug fixes.
Fleet Management & Telematics
Remote management of vehicles and their IoT-enabled sensors for maintenance, performance monitoring, and data updates.
Environmental Monitoring
Weather stations, air quality sensors, and smart grids that require constant updates and data synchronization across multiple devices.
Industrial Automation
Smart factory devices, sensors, and robotics that rely on regular firmware updates to enhance efficiency and safety.
Smart Cities & Infrastructure
Smart lighting, traffic monitoring, and public safety devices that need timely updates across wide networks.
Features
Seamless Firmware Updates
Perform updates over the air, ensuring devices always run the latest software without needing manual interventions or on-site visits.
Remote Configuration
Adjust device settings and parameters from anywhere, streamlining management across large-scale IoT deployments.
Efficient Communication
OTA over Mesh enables low-power, long-range communication across devices, ideal for remote areas or locations with challenging connectivity.
Reduced Downtime
Continuous updates and monitoring ensure that devices operate smoothly, reducing the likelihood of system failures and enhancing device performance.
Scalable Solutions
Easily scale IoT systems with OTA technology, updating multiple devices simultaneously regardless of their geographic location.
Usecases
1. Custody Protect:
OTA over Mesh is an integral part of our smart handcuffs solution, where it enables seamless real-time updates for monitoring vital health parameters. Health data, such as heart rate, acceleration, and gyroscopic data, is updated and monitored in real-time, ensuring timely interventions. OTA over Mesh allows for updates to NFC-enabled devices used for location tracking, ensuring a continuous link between handcuffs and monitoring systems. Ensure that the smart handcuffs are always optimized with the latest security and functionality updates, improving safety and operational efficiency in correctional facilities.
2. PSM:
OTA technology empowers our fleet management systems by allowing remote updates to Raspberry Pi-based devices that capture critical vehicle data. Real-time data from OBD2 and CAN BUS sensors are transmitted using MQTT and 4G-LTE, while OTA updates ensure that devices are always running the latest firmware remotely. Enable efficient route management, driver behavior analysis, and maintenance alerts, all updated remotely to reduce downtime and improve fleet performance.
3. Obel:
OTA technology enhances the functionality of our weather monitoring device, providing real-time data collection and communication through sensors like temperature, rain pulse, and wind sensors. OTA allows for remote updates to sensors and modules like GSM, I2C, and SD cards, optimizing the accuracy and reliability of collected data.
With OTA updates, weather monitoring devices can adapt to changing environmental conditions and improve their data logging and reporting capabilities. The integration of OTA ensures the devices stay connected and updated, regardless of their location, enabling timely alerts for extreme weather events.
