Jolla has a suite of other operating system ideas, including some focused on privacy and independence. The Finnish company, founded in 2011, is best known for its Linux-based Sailfish OS mobile operating system, the only European mobile OS. But Jolla's AppSupport technology lets Android apps run on any Linux device, too, which could help embedded devices like smartphones, tablets and cars.
Jolla's main products are:
AppSupport, which Jolla developed specifically for the automotive industry starting in 2019, lets phone makers keep their brand and strategic control over the digital cockpit value chain. Sailfish OS, now in its 4th generation, is a mature foundation for mobile solutions that customers can trust.
Jolla has a deep understanding of operating system technology, with more than 400 years of collective experience among its employees. That means Jolla can help companies with any OS-related projects, giving them a competitive advantage.
Jolla products cost:
Jolla supports more than a dozen mobile phones and feature phones. The company also offers a free trial version of Sailfish OS for supported Sony Xperia phones. Jolla only sells its products in the European Union, UK, Norway and Switzerland, but its software can be used anywhere in the world.
Jolla's open source approach and community involvement means that OS development is a collaborative effort. The company offers regular updates and can expand its services to establish independent R&D centers, local hosting and training for local infrastructure.
