The presentation date for the fifth version of the domestic operating system "Aurora" has become known. According to Rostelecom, it will take place on December 8 at the Rostelecom Tech Day conference in Moscow.
Some features of "Aurora" 5.0 have already ceased to be a secret. They were presented at the Mobius Autumn 2023 professional conference for mobile developers and at the recent RuStore Mobile Conf. Among the new options that were announced are updated graphics, multitasking, and user-friendliness.
It is also known that from 2024, the Russian mobile application store RuStore will be pre-installed on all devices with OS "Aurora" version five and higher. The Russian analogue of Google Play currently includes more than 20 thousand applications and games from Russian and foreign developers.
OS "Aurora"
A Russian mobile operating system designed for users from large companies and government agencies who need to minimize the risk of data leaks.
User data and their transmission channels are encrypted, and each device is managed through a separate "Aurora Center". All information is stored on its servers, not on the device. In case of theft or loss, any information from the device can be quickly remotely erased.
Recently, smartphones and tablets with OS "Aurora" can be purchased in a regular store. They have ceased to be a corporate privilege and a privilege for government agencies, and caused unexpected excitement for the retailer.
However, the data storage system of OS "Aurora" remains closed to private clients. This means that an ordinary user cannot immediately connect to the "Aurora Center", which stores all information on its servers. This can only be done upon request, but other and faster and more secure connection mechanisms are being developed.
