Software Update Over The Air (SUOTA) — Feature Availability Notice

We are pleased to announce that Software Update Over The Air (SUOTA) has been implemented for our DECT handset portfolio, enabling wireless firmware updates without the need for physical intervention or manual device handling.

Important Notice for Large-Scale Deployments

While SUOTA has been successfully validated in standard deployment scenarios, this feature has not yet undergone comprehensive testing in large-scale system environments. Customers operating installations with a high number of DECT handsets should exercise caution before deploying over-the-air updates across their full infrastructure.

We strongly recommend the following precautions for large systems:

Perform updates in controlled, staged rollouts rather than initiating simultaneous updates across all devices.
Validate the update process on a representative subset of handsets before proceeding with a full deployment.
Ensure adequate network capacity and system resources are available during the update window.
Monitor system performance closely throughout the update process.

We are actively working to extend our testing coverage to large-scale environments and will provide updated guidance as validation is completed. In the meantime, please contact our technical support team if you require assistance planning a safe update strategy for your deployment.

We have implemented Software Update Over The Air (SUOTA) with the following options:

Disabled
Manual (Default setting)
Push: Start using SUOTA window 1
Push: Start using SUOTA window 2

Manual is the default setting where via the manual handset procedure the SUOTA process can be started.
If the following requirements are met, the handset will show there is new Firmware available.

Push will trigger the selected handsets to start the SUOTA process in the service window.

The user will not be asked to confirm the firmware update. The user can always stop the firmware update.

When a handset is registered new, and the below requirements are set then the handset will ask to be updated.

SOUTA is enabled for all handsets

A service window to upgrade selected DECT handsets with a new software
This service window allows:
- Select a time period where handsets are not used and will not interrupt normal operations
Up to 2 service windows can be configured
Up to 2 firmware files can be hosted on our All-in-one system or firmware files can be hosted on an external server

Web-interface, software version 2.68 or higher
