The Russian OS "Aurora" brought its creators from "Open Mobile Platform" the "Breakthrough of the Year" award in the category "Science, Technology and Innovation".
Our mission is to provide our customers with a trusted mobile infrastructure. The OS "Aurora" is now not only a mature, trusted product with a long history of development, but also the center of a rapidly growing ecosystem, which is transforming before our eyes into a national mobile environment through the efforts of our partners - digital champions of Russia and manufacturers of domestic software and mobile devices.
OS "Aurora" is a solution that was originally developed for users from large companies and government structures who need to minimize the risk of data leakage.
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, and not on the device. In case of theft or loss of the device, the data on it can be quickly remotely erased.
Recently, devices with the OS "Aurora" have become available to buy in a regular store. They have ceased to be a corporate privilege and a privilege for government structures, and caused a stir at the retailer caused a stir. But for now, the data storage system of the OS "Aurora" remains closed to private clients. This means that an ordinary user cannot connect to the "Aurora Center" immediately after purchasing the device. The algorithm for such access by special requests is currently being developed.
Smartphones with "Aurora" became corporate devices for Rostelecom and other structures in the outgoing year. Officially, even members of the Federation Council began to test them, and discovered both advantages and disadvantages: for example, a small number of familiar messengers and applications.
In early December, the fifth version of this operating system was officially presented. As promised, it relies on user experience and has improved multitasking and graphics performance.
The first smartphones and tablets with "Aurora 5.0" will be available in retail stores as early as 2024. By 2025, this version of the OS will already be in the industrial use stage and the software migration will be completed.
It is known that the Russian mobile application marketplace RuStore will be pre-installed on all devices with "Aurora".
