What is the difference between FOTA and OTA in cars?
1 Answers
Essentially, the difference lies in the terminology, as both refer to over-the-air updates. Many smart devices now support FOTA. For example, BYD's newly launched Qin 100 is equipped with Guangsheng FOTA. Here is some additional information: OTA: Over-The-Air (OTA) is a technology that enables remote management of mobile terminal devices and SIM card data through the wireless interface of mobile communication. The wireless interface can use WAP, GPRS, CDMA1X, or SMS technology. FOTA: FOTA, Firmware-Over-The-Air, refers specifically to over-the-air firmware updates. As the name suggests, it emphasizes firmware upgrades for terminal devices. This is extremely common in the mobile phone industry—those who have flashed their phones should be familiar with the term "firmware version." Firmware updates for mobile phones are a type of FOTA.
