FOTA is an acronym for Firmware Over-the-air. It is used for upgrades to mobile phones and pda's. Normally you have to go to a specific service center (every mobile brand has their own) to get a firmware upgrade. But if the mobile phone has FOTA capability, you can instead download the firmware upgrade and install it yourself.

Open Mobile Alliance has released speciification on Firmware Update Management which standardise the method for FOTA.

FOTA is also an acronym used by various Friends Of The Arts organizations.
