Ubiquitous AI's Linux®/Android™ Fast Boot Solution Ubiquitous QuickBoot Surpasses 90 Million Units Shipped
Tokyo -May 16, 2025, Ubiquitous AI Corporation (TSE:3858) announces that its Linux/ Android fast boot solution Ubiquitous QuickBoot (hereinafter "QuickBoot") has surpassed cumulative shipments of 90 million units. This milestone coincides with the 15th anniversary of QuickBoot's launch in April 2025.
About Fast Boot Technology QuickBoot
QuickBoot leverages Ubiquitous AI's proprietary advanced memory management to start devices and applications in a few seconds. Since its release in 2010, the technology has been adopted, primarily in In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems such as car navigation and display audio. In recent years, as Linux and Android have become widely used in many embedded systems, QuickBoot adoption has expanded to diverse devices, including medical equipment, wireless terminals, electronic information terminals, DJ equipment, and test equipment on production lines.
The greatest advantage of QuickBoot is its exceptionally fast "cold boot" (startup from a complete power down state). This not only eliminates user wait times but also reduces standby power, extends battery life, and contributes to CO2 reduction. QuickBoot continues to expand its compatibility, currently supporting Arm®v6/v7/v8 and x86 architectures across Linux and Android OS. Its unique performance has driven global adoption, resulting in over 90 million units shipped worldwide.
QuickBoot Becomes a Critical Feature as Linux/Android Embedded Devices Gain Wider Adoption
Modern embedded devices have undergone a remarkable evolution, now featuring internet connectivity, multiple screens, and advanced graphics capabilities. However, this increased functionality has led to "system bloat," causing boot times for Linux and Android-based systems to stagnate or even slow down. Additionally, countermeasures against recent cyberattacks--such as Secure Boot to prevent software tampering and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates--have introduced further delays to the startup process. For 15 years, QuickBoot has remained a unique solution to these persistent challenges. As the market demands more secure and rapid boot times across a broader range of platforms, Ubiquitous AI is committed to meeting these needs. By providing prompt support for the latest applications and architectures, we will continue to solidify our leadership in the industry.
