KaiOS Technologies powers an emerging global ecosystem of affordable digital products and services. Its mobile operating system, KaiOS, enables a new category of lite phones and other IoT devices that require limited memory while still offering a rich user experience.

KaiOS comes with an app store based on HTML5, and through partnerships with developers including Facebook, Google, YouTube, and Twitter, it offers popular services like social media and streaming to millions of users in both developed and emerging markets.

The operating system has an optimized user interface for non-touch phones and supports 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC. It works with chipsets from all major manufacturers, and provides developers and carriers with a range of innovative back-end services. Despite its powerful features, KaiOS uses very few technical resources. It can perform using just 512 MB of RAM, or as little as 256 MB with its lite version, allowing Kai’s partners to keep price of their products low.

Kai is based in the USA with additional offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, India, France and Brazil.
