HARMAN OTA for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles rely on modern vehicle architectures that run millions of lines of software code. OTA solutions can efficiently manage these software components.

Enable and optimize benefits of a Software Defined Electric Vehicle

Software Based Differentiation
Software updates for evolving vehicle architectures and consumer preferences enable better performance, safety and security.
Update EV Charging Infrastructure 
Control the vehicle owner’s user experience at the charging station and offer value-added services using over-the-air software updates.
Improve EV Efficiencies
Optimize charging curves, thermal management and state-of-charge calculations through software updates.
Optimize Bandwidth
Data compression and optimized delta generation minimize network congestion and update time.
Harman OTA ensures that every vehicle runs the latest software version and optimal settings. This is useful for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), where software is a core component of vehicle operation, governing everything from battery management to user experience. OTA Use cases also include enabling a centralized operational center for all EV charging infrastructure critical to OEMs that operate their charging networks.
