Open Kernel Labs, a provider of embedded virtualization software for mobile phones and broadband Internet devices, today announced that its software is now deployed in more than one billion mobile devices, with growth in its installed base of 57 percent.
OK Labs is one of only 29 companies recognized for deploying products in 100 million or more handsets in the sixth semi-annual VisionMobile list, current as of the end of June 2010. According to VisionMobile research, just twelve products from ten companies had managed to reach more than 700 million deployments as of that date.
“The growth in shipments of Open Kernel Labs OKL4 parallels the dramatic growth of mobile devices over the past few years,” said VisionMobile Research Director, Andreas Constantinou.
“As OK Labs deployments surpass the one billion mark, we continue to invest in new technology and to launch new products,” said Steve Subar, Founder and CEO, OK Labs. “In 2010 alone, we released the OK Labs Mass-Market Smartphone Solution, the Nirvana Phone concept (together with Citrix) and, most recently, OK Labs SecureIT Mobile, a solution for secure and certified mobile devices.”
