Provided is a method for remotely uploading certified software from a source to a data update module on an asset via a wireless communications link. The method includes encrypting the communications link between the source and the data update module to form a secure tunnel and verifying credentials of the source via the data update module when a software update file is transmitted. A load assurance check is performed on a portion of the transmitted update file to confirm integrity of the transmitted file when the credentials of the source are verified. The uploading of the certified software is immediately activated when the file integrity is verified, the activating occurring automatically and being devoid of human intervention.

Method and system for remote load of on-board certified software

A computer implemented method and computer program product for improved data link performance over reliable transport media in a satellite-based global telecommunications network (e.g., Short Burst Data (SBD) transaction network) to reduce downlink latency includes sending a message over reliable transport media in the satellite-based global telecommunications network, polling for a response to the sent message and receiving the response to the sent message. In an aspect of the embodiment, the method can further include polling when a message alert notification is not received. In another aspect of the embodiment, the method can further include polling a single time. In yet another aspect of the embodiment, the method can include polling when a message alert timeout counter elapses.
