Samantha is the administrator of her organization’s mobile devices and wants to ensure that users have current versions of operating system firmware. Which one of the following approaches will best meet this need?
A. Administrator installation
B. OTA upgrades
C. User installation
D. Sideloading
Correct Answer: B
Over-the-air (OTA) upgrades occur automatically and without user or administrator intervention, making them the best way to ensure that devices remain current. If Samantha wants to control when these updates occur, she can manage OTA updates through her mobile device management (MDM) platform. Manual installation or sideloading by users or administrators is not likely to keep devices consistently updated.
