Sailfish OS Becomes Russia's Official Mobile Operating System
Recently, the
Finnish company Jolla’s Sailfish OS has been now accepted as an official
mobile Operating System by the Russian government. Apart from Russia,
Finnish company Jolla is also discussing alternative mobile OS
possibilities in other nations as well.
Sailfish OS Becomes Russia’s Official Mobile Operating System
Russia has in recent months sought to free themselves from other
countries software dependency. Its war against Microsoft and the search
for local solutions, based on open solutions, has made shake the
relations with the United States.
But a new front is about to be opened, with the certification of
Sailfish OS as the only mobile Operating System that can be used by
government entities. In this way, they can free themselves from the tech
giant Google’s mobile operating system Android.
It was Jolla, which is the creator of Sailfish OS, it announced its
great step in Russia. This operating system is now the only one who is
allowed to be used in the future project within the government and
related entities.
Certification of Sailfish OS will allow the Russian government and
government agencies to reduce their dependence on systems controlled by
foreign countries, something that Russia seeks to eliminate. Sailfish OS
actually is based on open source Linux kernel and Jolla’s open source
Mer Core UI and other 3rd party components and Sailfish OS are also
compatible with Android OS, as it enjoys a natural upper hand over other
Android alternatives.
Hence, this major certification will apply for a new Russian version
of Sailfish OS, which is being developed by the Russian company Jolla
and OMP. These works have lasted for 18 months and result on par with
the developments that are being made in the original version of Sailfish
OS, which is the basis of what is being developed by OMP.
The willingness of Russia to free itself from external software takes
another major step in which Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android are now
out of Russia’s choices, something that was intended earlier.
However, currently they do not have any plans to introduce new
devices for Jolla, but the fact is that very soon in Russia they will
develop new smartphones as well. After several projects which were less
well achieved, the Jolla and its Sailfish OS could be a major
revitalization in Russia. Apart from this big win in Russia, Jolla is
also discussing alternative mobile OS possibilities in India, China and
South Africa.
