With the development of mobile phones, the operating system of the phones also became more visible; Although at the beginning of the invention of the mobile phone, there was no such thing as an operating system, and except for computers that needed an operating system such as Windows, old phones did not benefit from this technology, but over time and with the aim of creating extensive capabilities for mobile phones, the operating system also It was added to these devices and became important
According to the IDEA, despite the prevalence of operating systems on computers that have a history of several 10 years, phone operating systems such as Android and iOS were added to this cycle in the last 10 years, and although companies such as Microsoft have tried to replace the Windows Phone operating system to offer for its phones, but still Google is at the top of this list with the presentation of Android and after that, and of course with a big difference, Apple company with the presentation of IOS.
This means that the creation of any new operating system cannot be associated with the success of previous examples, and of course the goal of creating new examples is also important.
Having a safer, cheaper operating system with local capabilities was one of the goals that encouraged Iran’s information technology sector to think of building a national operating system like many other countries, and on the other hand, the necessity of this operating system in content creation and finally It was undeniable in what is proposed as the national information network plan.
Finally, in October of 2013, an operating system named “Zamin” was put on the Internet as a test, as the first national operating system whose main core belonged to the Linux open source operating system; But the lack of sufficient experience in the field of designing applications and especially the operating system was the first challenge to design an operating system called the national operating system from the very beginning as a big obstacle to the design of the national operating system.
Over the past years, the officials believed that a percentage of our needs is for an operating system that we can be sure about the two factors of its security and independence; That there is no influence on it and no other decision affects it. A native operating system means an operating system that responds to native needs and is personalized for our needs; In fact, it is not supposed to answer everyone’s needs, but for a series of special needs.
After this issue, the former Minister of Communications and Information Technology published a video in 2019 about launching a native operating system and installing it on a GLX phone and announced that a group of students at Sharif University of Technology designed an operating system to counter Google sanctions. have done that Google cannot delete it. For more assurance of Iranian users, a phone has been produced by GLX that supports this operating system. This operating system allows Iranian users to activate applications related to their businesses without worrying about US sanctions.
Now, with the inauguration of the 13th government, this issue continued to receive attention in such a way that late last fall, the Deputy of Technology and Innovation of the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology announced a public call for the production of a smart mobile phone operating system.
In the call published by the Deputy Minister of Technology and Innovation of the Ministry of Communications, it was announced that in line with the implementation of clause 18 of the operational goals of the document on the master plan and architecture of the national information network and in order to identify the technical and operational capacities for the production and development of the smart mobile phone operating system, from among the individuals Real and legal entities including private, non-governmental and non-governmental organizations that have at least one operating system installed on a smartphone by the 10th of January 2023 are invited for evaluation.
After this call, Eisa Zarepour – the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, in an interview with a media, emphasized that we are moving in the direction of being able to have the necessary infrastructure for the development of communications and information technology in the country natively.
He believed that all advanced countries are moving towards having their own digital asset. In the field of mobile phone and operating system, the colleagues in the Ministry’s Technology Vice-Chancellor have called to identify the capacities in the country and use them to produce a native operating system.
What do you know about native operating system?
According to the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, the production of a native operating system is one of the tasks assigned to the Ministry of Communications by the Supreme Council of Cyber Space in the National Information Network Architecture Document. In line with the implementation of this legal task, we intend to do this task by using the country’s elites and knowledge-based companies active in this field. There are no exact statistics yet on the number of volunteers who have registered so far.
In any case, the experts are of the opinion that although there have been several years of news about the creation of a mobile operating system by the authorities; But it should be noted that this new operating system is not supposed to replace all operating systems, and this does not mean forcing all users, but what is important is providing the two factors of security and independence for the new tool.
