Airbiquity, a global leader in connected vehicle services, announced the launch of OTAmatic, a new automotive over-the-air (OTA) solution that orchestrates and automates software updates and data management for connected vehicles.
According to Airbiquity, new vehicle operation, performance, and features are increasingly reliant on software and data to function as designed. As such, the ability for automakers and suppliers to update software and modify data collection after vehicle purchase is quickly becoming crucial to managing the lifecycle of the vehicle, consumer driving experience, and continued realization of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle to everything (V2X) communications, and autonomous driving.
Airbiquity said that the OTAmatic solution takes the complexity out of automotive OTA by reliably and securely orchestrating and automating multi-ECU software updates and data management—at scale. This production-ready product has been specifically designed and engineered for automotive; can be purchased at the component level or as an end-to-end solution; can be deployed in the Airbiquity cloud, leading public clouds, or on-premise in customer data centers; and includes the following features:
- Over-the-Air Orchestration: Policy-driven dependency, rollback, and recovery.
- End-to-End Security: Standards-based certification, authentication, and encryption.
- Data Management Framework: Dynamic data collection and upgradable analytics.
- Bandwidth & Storage Management: Intelligent network selection, data caching, and transfer.
- Consumer Interaction & Privacy: Customized notifications, prompts, and consent.
- Campaign Management: Campaign creation, approvals, reporting, and administration.
