ThingPark Firmware Update Over-the-Air (FUOTA) is a software solution that securely delivers firmware updates to LoRaWAN devices deployed in the field. It uses advanced techniques such as message fragmentation, multicast, forward error correction, and delta-based updates to ensure reliable and efficient distribution, even to devices in remote or inaccessible locations. This capability allows operators to patch vulnerabilities, add new features, and extend the operational life of IoT sensors without requiring physical access.
