Hi Steve, We developed a new consumer based audio product where I work that updates its software via internet connection. In our product when the customer wants to check and download updates he/she selects "update" from the setup menu... If there is a new update to the version the customer is currently running, the system downloads and installs the update with no further action required from the customer.

Today there is some give-and-take on which versions work with each other. Today the Windows client software is a Windows installer, so this will likely be distributed as before on a web page. SmartSDR software for the radio is updated in a 2-step process: 1) files are retrieved and placed on the radio, 2) the radio initiates an upgrade process. Today, we push the files manually to our handful of test customers, but the final process will be different. One possible scenario is for the radio to automatically check for updates and download them or to notify the client that an update exists and then upgrade at the client's request. Considerably more complicated would be a mechanism where the update files are somehow pushed to the radio via the client or another mechanism such as a flash drive, CD in the client, etc. Is there anyone who would be unable to upgrade a radio via a process where the radio downloaded it's upgrade from the Internet? We'd prefer to spend our time working on "radio features" rather than additional radio software upgrade processes to support every conceivable situation.
