open-standards-based software solution OTA Plus at the Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona.

fixes-over-the-air updates (SOTA) are becoming a mandatory feature for connected cars. In
addition, consumers expect smartphone-like mobile entertainment features in their

marketing channel for OEMs. OTA software updates make all of that possible.

suppliers. Among the members are the car makers BMW and Jaguar Land Rover. The OTA Plus
suite is compliant with GENIVI's standards and can integrate easily and efficiently with
