How HERE OTA Connect works
Flexible on-premise hosting and integration
The client/server solution is designed for on-premise hosting. A flexible microservice architecture allows a customized and seamless integration into the OEM’s back-end infrastructure. Vehicles are OTA-enabled by integrating the OTA client into their existing system.
Comprehensive vehicle management
HERE OTA Connect stores information about each vehicle in the database, such as hardware and software details, as well as the update history. OEMs and fleet managers can create vehicle lists and groups to better understand the health of their fleet, optimize maintenance, maximize utilization, and boost efficiency.
Rapidly deploy and manage global software updates
The campaign management system enables OEMs to install software across an entire fleet, rather than updating vehicles one-by-one. In the event of an error, it is easy to determine the affected group and deploy a targeted campaign to fix the issue.
Under the hood
Highly customizable OTA software management solution with seamless integration.
HERE OTA Connect is a full-stack client/server software solution built around the Uptane security framework, featuring a microservice architecture and an open-source core.
The solution, which provides open APIs, give users the ability to create targeted update campaigns, monitor existing campaigns, and securely update map data, software and firmware inside a vehicle.
Built with an agile development process in mind, the highly customizable solution integrates seamlessly into existing server infrastructures and the latest vehicle architectures.
