Overview
Cocomm, based in Spain, is a leading provider of professional communication solutions across Europe. With a focus on smart communication terminals, IoT modules, and push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) devices, Cocomm serves sectors such as logistics, public safety, construction, and utilities. As Cocomm expanded its market reach and device portfolio, maintaining reliable and secure software updates became increasingly critical—especially for devices deployed in mission-critical and remote environments.
To streamline its software update process, Cocomm partnered with Redstone OTA (over -the-air), integrating a robust FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) system into its product line to improve update efficiency, minimize risks, and enhance user satisfaction.
Challenges
Managing Diverse Device Portfolios
– Cocomm’s product range includes PoC radios, Android terminals, and IoT modules, each with different firmware and usage scenarios, requiring a flexible and unified update solution.
Ensuring Update Reliability in the Field
– Many Cocomm devices are deployed in harsh, mobile environments where update failures or delays could disrupt operations.
Scaling Updates Across International Markets
– With customers spread across Europe and Latin America, Cocomm needed a centralized system to manage remote updates at scale.
Maintaining Security and Compliance
– Security was essential, particularly for communication devices used by emergency services and infrastructure teams.
Redstone OTA Solution
Cocomm adopted Redstone OTA to bring agility, control, and reliability to its software deployment strategy across all connected devices.
Unified Update Platform
– Redstone OTA offered a centralized dashboard to manage updates for different device categories and firmware versions.
– Support for both Android and Linux-based systems enabled full coverage of Cocomm’s portfolio.
Remote, Automated Updates
– Devices received updates remotely, with minimal user interaction, reducing the burden on support teams.
– Update campaigns could be automated and monitored in real time.
Phased Rollouts and Rollback Mechanisms
– Updates were deployed in stages to limit exposure and ensure early issue detection.
– Built-in rollback ensured devices could revert to the previous version in case of failure.
Security-First Architecture
– All firmware packages were encrypted and securely transmitted, ensuring protection against tampering or unauthorized access.
Results & Impact
Up to 95% Reduction in Update Deployment Time
– Redstone OTA dramatically reduced the time required to deploy updates across Cocomm’s devices in the field.
Fewer Support Incidents
– Remote updates and rollback support significantly reduced the number of user-reported issues post-update.
Improved Update Governance
– Real-time dashboards and reporting provided Cocomm with greater control over update progress and compliance tracking.
Enhanced Customer Satisfaction
– Reliable updates translated to better device stability and customer experience, especially for critical-use applications.
Conclusion
By implementing Redstone OTA, Cocomm transformed its device management capabilities—bringing greater speed, reliability, and visibility to its firmware update processes. With Redstone, Cocomm confidently supports its communication and IoT devices across multiple geographies, ensuring that customers stay connected, secure, and up-to-date at all times.
