Customer background

The world's top supplier of auto parts and systems, a Fortune 500 company.

Customer requirements

-After the device has been developed, it is found that FOTA has not been designed. If redeveloping devices, the cost of time and labor is high. How to quickly integrate FOTA into existing devices?

-Devices often appear in areas without signals such as basements or tunnels, and no signal disconnection will lead to the problem of the upgrade being interrupted and the equipment temporarily offline. How to ensure the smooth completion of the upgrade process in such scenarios?

-In disaster scenarios such as frequent earthquakes, how to ensure that the device service is not interrupted and the system has the ability to control risks?

-The device capacity is limited and the big upgrade package can not be used. How to ensure the successful upgrade of the device?

-How to ensure the information isolation of the devices when different drivers of the same taxi are handed over shifts?

Solutions and advantages

-Quick integration. On the basis that the equipment has been designed and developed, there is no need to re-develop the equipment, and the SDK provided by our company can be used to quickly integrate and form a device upgrade and management solution.

-Support breakpoint download and offline upload. In the no signal scenario, breakpoint download is supported. When the signal is restored, the device upgrade status can be immediately uploaded to the cloud, which is convenient for managers to manage and monitor the equipment in the cloud.

-Multiple availability zones, cluster deployment, and high availability. In disaster scenarios, such as frequent earthquakes, multi-zone cluster deployment improves risk resistance and provides higher availability.

-Support for the small capacity delta packages with only 20%-50% of the normal package to ensure that the small capability device can still be successfully upgraded.

- Build a VPC to support identity authentication. Build a private network to ensure data security, and isolate information for the identification and authentication of different drivers, so that only designated personnel who are identified and authenticated can use the device.
