IoT Challenge 

Managing and updating the multitude of IoT devices involves navigating through potential risks associated with limited bandwidth, unstable connectivity, and power loss during the update process. In addition, new regulations make it a necessity for product manufacturers to roll out security fixes. Mender & 1NCE have worked on a dynamic solution through the innovative Plugin to help you overcome these challenges.

The Solution

Mender Firmware Over-the-Air Management (FOTA) is a plugin providing secure and robust over-the-air (OTA) software updates for your entire device fleet. Prioritizing compliance with regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act, the plugin ensures a streamlined process for continuous firmware updates, bringing trust to communication, data integrity, and authenticity.

How it works 

Mender minimizes the risk of bricking from limited bandwidth, unstable connectivity, or power loss. Delta updates optimize bandwidth by 90%, ensuring a smooth process. The devices are automatically onboarded using 1NCE Device Authenticator.
This means that there is no need to handle additional security-related credentials just for the purpose of FOTA updates, making the process more convenient and secure.
