Sonatus has launched Sonatus Updater, a product for managing over-the-air (OTA) updates in software-defined vehicles (SDVs), it said in a press release on Jan. 4. The product allows automotive manufacturers to manage the increasing variety of vehicle software assets from a single pane of glass, with predictability and end-to-end traceability.
Sonatus Updater aims to address cybersecurity challenges by providing a secure, multimodal OTA operation platform with the ability to predict outcomes and trace updates throughout the process.
1. Secure update management: Sonatus Updater allows automakers to manage updates securely, including firmware, configurations, policies and more, from a single interface in compliance with UNECE R155 R156.
2. Predictable results: The platform allows automakers to conduct dry runs to predict the cost of a campaign and proactively resolve conflicts before deploying an update.
3. End-to-end traceability: Sonatus Updater provides complete and detailed visibility — down to the individual vehicle electronic control unit (ECU) — to aid in troubleshooting and improving future campaign success.
“Automotive consumers increasingly expect software updates to securely deliver new features and capabilities for their vehicles. OEMs are working to differentiate themselves and meet that demand with OTA updates, but often find update management difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Sonatus Updater is specifically designed to address the challenges automakers encounter, enabling multi-modal OTA operations with the ability to predict outcomes and trace updates throughout the process,” said Yu Fang, co-founder and chief technical officer of Sonatus.
