Firmware Update Application

The Firmware Update Application runs on a PC  with OS Windows 10 or 11 and connects to the user interfaces via RS232.

The following radios in the Sat-Com range can be upgraded with the Firmware Update Application;

  • Leopard1
  • Cheetah3
  • Badger1
  • Shark1
  • Hawk1
  • Lynx1*
  • Afracal2
  • Afracal1
  • Afracal1000

Individual secure login license keys ensure that ONLY the owner of the equipment can log into the application and connect to the owner’s radios or amplifiers.

Trained Agents in the country/territory will have their own application with their agent’s license to log into radios to assist end users with training, set-up, and guidance.

The Firmware Update Application requires a ONCE-OFF unlimited license per territory/end-user purchase which will allow for;

  • Updating Radios and Amplifiers
  • for an unlimited number of units
  • for an unlimited time/period of use.
  • and includes free upgrades to the application.

Features List

  • Update all Firmware in SDR;
  • Leopard1
  • Leopard1 GTA
  • Cheetah3
  • Cheetah3+
  • Badger1
  • Hawk1
  • Shark1
  • Lynx1

The application connects to the end user radio after authenticating the license of the end-user with an embedded key of the Application.

Exiting Firmware is referenced to the New Firmware before Updating is allowed to ensure it is the approved latest Firmware for the specific SDR under upgrade.

Most of the upgrade is done automatically, however, in some instances, the technical person performing the upgrade will be prompted to recycle power to the device under upgrade to force a fresh reboot of processors.
