5 common automotive OTA myths – busted
Most people think of automotive Over-The-Air (OTA) updates as simple infotainment patches, navigation map refreshes, or basic bug fixes. This narrow view significantly understates what OTA technology has become. Modern automotive OTA encompasses a comprehensive ecosystem of updates: firmware revisions, configuration parameter adjustments, machine learning model deployments, and critical software upgrades that can fundamentally transform […]

The Evolution of OTA: From smartphones to construction sites
Do you remember the excitement when iOS 5 introduced wireless updates in 2011? No more iTunes, no more cables – you could finally tap ‘install’ and watch your phone transform overnight Back then, we thought this was purely about convenience. None of us anticipated that the same core technology would eventually become mission-critical infrastructure powering […]

Building the future: OTA in construction applications
The construction industry stands at the threshold of a digital transformation that mirrors the revolutionary changes we’ve witnessed in the automotive sector. As we’ve championed standardized over-the-air (OTA) updates for passenger vehicles, the same principles and technologies that have proven successful in automotive applications are poised to transform heavy machinery and construction equipment. Construction equipment […]
Why semiconductor firms are key to future vehicle operations
When a vulnerability threatens millions of vehicles worldwide, who makes sure the fix hits every car rapidly? When automakers say cars will update themselves without cables over the air, who enables this to happen? It’s more than simply just code and infrastructure. It’s the semiconductor companies that lay down the silicon bed who make secure modern automotive connectivity happen. The eSync Alliance is increasingly welcoming semiconductor businesses such as Renesas and ARM as […]
