OMP plans to transfer all its customers to the new generation of "Aurora" OS, expand the catalog of applications on the OS in the official application store RuStore. Next, the start of retail sales will begin according to the BYOTD model, already with the "Aurora 5.1" version.
"Aurora" OS
A Russian mobile operating system designed for users from large companies and government agencies who need to minimize the risk of data leaks. "Open Mobile Platform" has been working on this project since 2016.
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.
The OS meets all the requirements of regulators in the field of national security and information protection and has regularly updated FSB and FSTEC certificates. In 2023, "Aurora" moved from corporations and government agencies to the ordinary consumer market: devices with it became available for purchase in stores.
The data storage system of the "Aurora" OS remains closed to private ordinary customers for now. 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.
