Keep every vehicle secure, connected and future ready.
An end-to-end Over-The-Air platform that delivers software to every ECU and high-performance computer (HPC) in the field — managed, validated and compliant from cloud to vehicle. SOTA and FOTA, built for the software-defined vehicle.
Software is shipping faster than vehicles can absorb it.
As features move to software, every recall, fix and new capability becomes an update problem — across dozens of ECUs, hundreds of variants and a fleet that's already on the road.
Three pillars to manage complete OTA.
Not a single product, but three pillars working together — the solution stack, validation infrastructure and managed operations that cover the full OTA lifecycle, from the onboard stack to campaigns in the field.
One solution for standalone ECUs to modern HPCs.
From a single configuration parameter to a full firmware image — across the platforms and standards a modern vehicle program runs on.
SOTA — Software Over-The-Air
Configuration, calibration and application updates delivered to ECUs, HPCs and domain controllers without touching the workshop.
FOTA — Firmware Over-The-Air
Full firmware and bootloader flashing with guaranteed rollback — the deepest, highest-risk class of update, delivered safely.
A complete stack — from cloud to HPC.
An offboard cloud management layer and an onboard vehicle agent work as one — orchestrating campaigns, packages and flashing across every ECU and HPC in the software-defined vehicle.
An OTA validation infrastructure, built to scale.
A dedicated test infrastructure — physical rigs, virtual fleets and cloud-native orchestration — that proves every campaign before it ever reaches a vehicle.
Center of Excellence · Test House
A proven validation practice — backed by a reusable test-case library, deep failure-mode coverage and near-complete automation.
Six modules we offer.
A suite of managed operations modules — campaign planning, deployment, monitoring, security & compliance, incident management and analytics — offered individually or combined to fit your program.
Stand up the right OTA program from day one.
Six advisory offerings that de-risk the journey — from strategy and architecture to regulatory compliance and validation.
OTA Strategy & Roadmap
Define the business case, target operating model and a phased roadmap for rolling OTA across your portfolio.
Vehicle Architecture
Design the E/E and software architecture so the vehicle is genuinely update-ready — not retrofitted later.
Update Planning & Governance
Establish the release process, approval gates and governance that turn ad-hoc updates into a controlled program.
Regulatory Compliance
Build Software Update & Cybersecurity Management Systems that satisfy WP.29 SUMS, UNECE R155 & R156 and ISO 24089 for homologation.
OTA Development
Engineer the onboard agent and offboard cloud stack — integrated with your platform and ECU suppliers.
OTA Validation
Run the full validation infrastructure — HIL, failure-mode and rollback testing — so every campaign is proven before release.
Why teams build OTA with KPIT.
Decades of validation depth and dedicated infrastructure turn OTA from a risk into a repeatable, fast-moving capability.
Proven in production, at scale.
Real OTA programs delivered by KPIT — from production flashing to in-vehicle update and validation.
Questions, answered.
The essentials on how KPIT's Remote Software Management (OTA) solution works.
What's the difference between SOTA and FOTA?
SOTA (Software Over-The-Air) delivers configuration, calibration and application updates to ECUs, HPCs and domain controllers. FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) flashes full firmware and bootloaders — the deepest, highest-risk class of update — with guaranteed rollback. KPIT's platform supports both.
Does it support both standalone ECUs and modern HPCs?
Yes — one solution spans standalone ECUs through to high-performance computers, across Adaptive AUTOSAR, Linux and Android Automotive, with multi-ECU programming and rapid adaptation to each OEM's E/E architecture.
How are updates kept secure and compliant?
Every package is signed and verified end to end using the Uptane framework, with OMA-DM device management. The solution is built to satisfy WP.29 SUMS and supports UNECE R155 (cybersecurity) and R156 (software update) homologation, alongside ISO 24089.
What happens if an update fails?
Dual-bank (A/B) updates and safe-boot bootloaders guarantee rollback, so a failed flash never bricks an ECU or strands a vehicle — and user data is retained across update cycles.
Which platforms and standards are supported?
Adaptive AUTOSAR, Linux and Android Automotive; Uptane and OMA-DM compliant; embedded diagnostics to ISO 22900; and cloud-agnostic deployment, including Microsoft Azure.
How quickly can we adopt it?
Production-proven, modular components can be rapidly adopted and customised to OEM-specific packaging and processes — reducing development time and cost, with a global team supporting integration across the full development lifecycle.
Make your fleet updatable for the software-defined era.
Whether you're launching a new program, retrofitting OTA onto an existing platform, or preparing for WP.29 homologation — let's map the path together.
