What is OTA Update?

Over-the-Air Update

An over-the-air (OTA) update delivers new firmware to a deployed device remotely over its network connection, letting manufacturers fix bugs, patch security, and add features without physical access.

Secure OTA — with signed images, rollback protection, and dual-bank storage — is now a baseline expectation for connected products and a requirement under emerging IoT security regulations.
