M2M Control Upgrade & Deployment Server

The GPRS Upgrade & Deployment Server (UDS) offers sophisticated features for Upgrade & Deployment of a, typically a larger, number of units in operation. The UDS downloads the application (software) as well as the firmware thru the mobile network to units. This method is called "Firmware-over-the-air" (FOTA).

The UDS can be configured by the user to insure that the specified units are running the correct firmware and application. The UDS will automatically upgrade the units as requested and this task will even take place during full unit operation. Any interruption in an upgrade attempt will be automatically handled and resumed to avoid any waste of expensive bandwidth.
