Custom, Secure & Safe Android OS for Embedded Systems
L4B Software delivers next-generation custom Android OS solutions, hardened for security and performance, tailored to your embedded hardware and industry-specific use cases.
From its beginnings in mobile phones, Android has evolved into a versatile OS for a wide range of embedded systems—including automotive infotainment, medical devices, smart TVs, home automation, and point-of-sale systems. Since 2009 (starting with Android 2.2), L4B Software has been at the forefront of Android development, supporting everything from early releases to the latest Google AOSP versions.
We don’t just build Android systems – we engineer complete, secure platforms purpose-built for your device.

Why Embedded Android Is Different – And Why It Matters
Android for embedded systems is fundamentally different from mobile Android. Devices may not have access to Google services, require low-latency performance, or operate in safety-critical environments. These systems often run on non-standard hardware with custom peripherals, where off-the-shelf Android is not suitable.
L4B Software specializes in solving these challenges. We deliver Android OS stacks tailored to your hardware, optimized for performance, and hardened for security and regulatory compliance.
