Check current firmware version
You can check the current Iridium GO! exec's firmware in the Device Info page on either the exec device or within the Iridium GO! exec app that is connected to the exec device. For instructions please see Iridium GO! exec - Device Information
The firmware will be listed under 'FW Version' in Device Info. Do not confuse this with 'Satellite Modem FW Version' which is also on the Device Info page.
Updating the Iridium GO! exec device Firmware (aka software)
The Iridium GO! exec can complete a software update via the Iridium GO! exec App. You do not need a USB cable or a computer. See: Iridium GO! exec - Download and Install the Required Companion Apps
The Iridium GO! exec App will notify the user each time the App connects to an Iridium GO! exec if there is a firmware update available. This menu provides a means of updating the firmware if the previous requests have been denied.
IMPORTANT:
1. Make sure the Iridium GO! exec app auto-updates itself on your mobile device or ensure it's manually updated via regular internet connection on the Apple iOS Store or Android Google Play store. New firmware will come with new versions of the app.
2. It is highly recommended to update the firmware on the exec as they become available. Firmware updates provide bug fixes, stability and service improvements, and other enhancements.
NOTE: The Iridium GO! exec will reboot when the update completes, dropping all Wi-Fi connections, voice calls and data sessions in the process.
