Hi there,

How does DES OTA module work ? Can you still load the key through keyloader ? Do you need a base station or special instrument to do the OTA ?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

It's actually OTAR - Over-the-air-rekeying.

Yes you can still load key's with a standard keyloader but OTAR is for organizations with large fleets of radio's and used where it would be impractical to load each radio with new "key's" manually.

Have a look at this link http://www.motorola.com/GSS/SSTG/ISSPD/Keymanagement/ and you may also want to do a web search for more information and even look at some of Elroy's previous posts, he's answered a lot of questions regarding Who? How? and Why? on OTAR.
