But let’s not trust words
Here are facts
Gapfruit OS is in operation and used in large-scale industrial edge and LoRaWAN gateway deployments.
Security
By reducing the attack surface by more than 99%, Gapfruit OS turns reactive security into proactive cybersecurity — built on microkernel architecture and capability-based isolation.
In 2023, Gapfruit OS was demonstrated live in front of security researchers at a major U.S. conference.
Scalability
Gapfruit OS maps the entire physical device including its full software stack - into a digital twin, enabling operators to scale large device fleets without increasing operational effort or cost.
In an industrial gateway PoC, rollout time dropped from 2 hours to just 90 seconds while maintaining full auditability across the fleet.
Availability
Gapfruit OS features self-healing resilience that automatically detects and recovers from faults — without interrupting critical functions.
In a robotics PoC, a network driver fault was resolved in under 300 ms, with zero downtime and no operational interruption.
Maintainability
Gapfruit OS enables declarative, downtime-free, over-the-air updates — keeping both the OS and applications reliably up to date.
Engineered and tested for long-lifecycle deployments of 10+ years without requiring manual intervention.
No Layers of hype
Just layers of isolation
Gapfruit OS is built on a microkernel architecture with capability-based security at every layer.
It enforces strict isolation minimizes the attack surface, and gives full control over software and hardware interactions.
With “capabilities all the way down,” trust is rooted in hardware and extends to applications and the cloud
Zero-trust architectures, supports high availability and certification that makes trust provable by design
Why Traditional OS’ Keep Failing and
What We Did about it
Security
Monolithic architectures have massive attack surfaces and expose over 300 syscalls and unnecessary services.
Sсalability
Scaling with traditional OSs leads to complex orchestration, configuration drifts, and manual intervention.
Availability
In traditional OSs, a single driver or process failure often leads to a full system crash (Kernel Panic)
Maintainability
Board Support Packages are often frozen by semiconductor vendors and can rarely be patched especially in long product lifecycles.
still don’t trust us?
That’s fine
integration effort?
here’s what to expect
We don’t pretend it’s plug-and-play. But we work closely with your team to make the process clear, structured, and realistic — just like we’ve done with our strategic partners like Bechtle, Device Insight, and Miromico.
Define requirements & use case
Together with your team, we define the product requirements, security objectives, and lifecycle needs.
Select and prepare the hardware
If you choose hardware from our ecosystem of strategic partners, no enablement is needed — we can start immediately.
For custom hardware, we take care of the entire hardware enablement process.
Add required applications and protocols
We add the necessary applications, services, and protocols using modular building blocks from the Gapfruit ecosystem wherever possible.
Test & validate in real-world conditions
We support your team in functional testing, fault simulation, and lifecycle validation — including rollback, health monitoring, and OTA workflows.
Our partners typically use dedicated test centers to validate new solutions under real-world conditions before deployment.
