Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates

Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates

As vehicles evolve into software-defined platforms, Over-the-Air (OTA) updates have become essential for maintaining performance, security, and user satisfaction. OTA enables automakers to deliver new features, bug fixes, and critical updates seamlessly — without costly recalls or service disruptions.

At EagleTC, we provide end-to-end OTA testing and validation services that ensure software updates are delivered securely, reliably, and with minimal disruption to the end user. Our proven methodologies help OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers launch OTA programs that are robust, efficient, and globally scalable.

 

Our OTA Expertise

Multi-Phase OTA Validation

OTA is more than just sending files — it involves multiple stages that must work flawlessly.
Scope includes:

  • Download Phase – validating network reliability, interrupted downloads, and resume functionality.
  • Unpacking Phase – verifying package integrity, decryption, and error handling.
  • Installation Phase – confirming smooth updates in both background and active user modes.

Value: Prevents failures during critical update moments, protecting consumer trust.

Functional & Regression Testing

We validate OTA’s impact on core vehicle functions to ensure updates enhance — not disrupt — performance.
Scope includes:

  • Infotainment, telematics, digital cockpit, and drive-control modules.
  • Regression testing to ensure previously validated features remain stable post-update.
  • Testing across multiple model years and software versions.

Value: Guarantees system stability and consistent user experience.

Real-World Field Testing

Our teams simulate real-world update scenarios to ensure OTA reliability in diverse environments.
Scope includes:

  • Testing across varied road conditions, connectivity strengths, and geographies.
  • Long-distance road trips validating OTA processes across cellular and satellite networks.
  • Identifying failure points caused by environmental or connectivity variations.

Value: Provides OEMs with insights that lab testing alone cannot deliver.

Data Analysis & Reporting

We provide OEMs with clear, actionable insights during and after OTA validation.
Scope includes:

  • Daily test reporting with system logs and detailed observations.
  • Real-time issue triage and resolution support.
  • Continuous improvement feedback for software and system updates.

Value: Enables immediate fixes and long-term optimization of OTA strategies.
