Firmware updates to remote devices are not only necessary but essential. In an IoT world in which millions of devices are connected, it is essential that these devices have a mechanism to periodically update their firmware. If this does not happen then remote devices will not be able to adapt to new security threats that appear, nor to improvements in communications protocols, or solve problems not detected when they were manufactured, to mention just a few examples. The result will be that devices will be exposed more easily, and their useful life will end up being much shorter.

All devices manufactured by Tellink, including Panel Controllers, Luminaire Controllers and Hubs allow remote updating of their firmware versions. Tellink's "Device Management" team has defined protocols and procedures for periodic updating of the entire fleet of connected devices.
