Kona S Licenses Smith Micros Firmware Update Technology for Integration into its Device Management Platform for the Automotive Sector
ALISO VIEJO, CA, May 9, 2017 – Smith Micro Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:SMSI) today announced that Kona S, an embedded solutions and services provider based in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), has selected Smith Micro’s FOTA (firmware over-the air) software for integration into its device management (DM) platform. Part of Smith Micro’s comprehensive QuickLink® IoT Services Platform, Smith Micro’s FOTA solution supports the entire firmware update process from update package creation to device installation and update verification.
Leveraging advanced differencing algorithms, Smith Micro’s FOTA solution creates delta firmware update packages that are significantly smaller in size than the original firmware updates. This technology enables Kona S to greatly reduce the amount of Internet traffic associated with updating a large network of IoT devices. Once created and delivered, the FOTA technology unpacks the delta versions of the firmware update packages and applies them to the device in a very robust manner by active handling of bad memory blocks, recovery due to power loss, and detection or corrupted update packages.
A leading DM solution provider for the Telecom industry, Kona S is expanding its footprint into the surging connected car market with AVN (A udio, V isual,
Navigation) solutions. Due to recent market consolidation, Kona S needed a proven, independent FOTA solution for integration into this new DM offering for the AVN use case.
“Smith Micro’s FOTA technology adds comprehensive capabilities for updating device firmware over-the-air to our DM platform,” said Thomas Choi, IoT planning/Manager for Kona S. “The solution is extensible with well-documented APIs that can be easily adapted by OEMs to almost any hardware platform running Linux.”
“We are pleased that Kona S is licensing our FOTA technology as part of their device management offering for the automotive sector in the APAC region,” said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. “The market consolidation in this segment has enabled Smith Micro to address the growing demand for proven device management solutions in the rapidly expanding IoT market. With the need to update millions of mobile devices already in the field, and with millions more to come, our carrier-grade, QuickLink IoT Services Platform provides comprehensive, in-field support for connected devices throughout their entire lifecycle.”
Integrated into the Kona S offering, Smith Micro’s FOTA technology will be deployed in South Korea, China, and Japan in the second quarter of 2017. Learn more about Smith Micro’s FOTA technology here.
