A Fast, Reliable, And Secure Service for Reprogramming Your Connected Products
Particle OTA Services lets you push Over-the-Air updates with a single line of code or a few clicks, making it simple to add new features, respond to security vulnerabilities, or change product behavior after you’ve shipped.
Over-The-Air Updates Used to Be Risky. Not Anymore.
Particle is the only full-stack IoT PaaS with a complete, end-to-end OTA software update service that eliminates the common pitfalls - like bricked devices or unstable firmware - of updating assets in the field. With Particle, OTA updates are...
Simple and Fast
Across 350+ carriers in over 100 countries, our customers push over 100,000 OTA updates per month, and most are completed in less than 30 seconds.
Context-Aware and Reliable
Particle won’t push an OTA update if a Particle Device is performing a critical operation and will wait until it’s safe to do so, avoiding costly interruptions and outages caused by bricked products.
Secure
All OTA updates between Particle Devices and Particle Cloud are encrypted, including firmware files, to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Every update is verified to ensure all senders are approved device managers.
Easy OTA Updates for All Stages Of Product Development
Use single-device OTA functions to iterate rapidly on your prototypes. When you’re ready to scale, Particle OTA Services lets you batch OTA updates to many products at once. Release new firmware, test updates on a subset of your fleet, and push updates whenever you want. Your connected products will automatically receive them when they’re ready.
"Before, our customers had to send a technician out to each device, have them plug a USB into it, and update the firmware manually. Now, we can update an entire fleet with a single click."

Particle’s Platform-as-a-Service is fully integrated and supports OTA updates out-of-the-box. No configuration or set up necessary.
Compatibility Verification
Automatically verify firmware-hardware compatibility to prevent device bricking.

Easily compile new firmware versions, upload and test them on dev devices, and do a progressive rollout across your fleet.
OX Motorcycles Builds a Tech-Enabled Riding Experience with Particle
Case Study
OX Motorcycles had a bold vision to redefine the electric motorcycle market by making connectivity part of the DNA of their vehicles.
OX was immediately able to use Particle's certified hardware and flexible, easy-to-use development platform to integrate connectivity into the entire powertrain of the motorcycles.
OX is now preparing to launch in select EU markets throughout 2022, noting that without Particle, they would still be building.
