MOBILE INDUSTRY SUSTAINABILITY

As we are facing ever greater challenges of increasing consumption and decreasing resources. We need new solutions. We need mobile standards that enable resource efficiency as well as platforms for hardware innovation.

Puzzlephone was established to create that change – to create a mobile industry that is both ecologically and socially sustainable.


WHAT IS PUZZLEPHONE?

FOR END-USER
Easily repairable and upgradeable mobile phone.
Open Source code for reliable auditing and community support.
This means better debugging and safeguards against malware. One firmware compilation for each compliant OS platform means a faster response and a better user experience.

FOR DEVELOPER
Firmware and hardware standard. A standard platform ensures on-time upgrades by simplifying and reducing the IT workload, both for manufacturers and application developers.

FOR MANUFACTURER
Increase of customer pool. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a ready to burn, pre-compiled OS with 100% Open Source Code that allows you to develop high quality devices for the masses as well as on-demand, tailor made solutions for niche sectors?

NEXT STEPS

PILOT HARDWARE
We are developing working hardware as a reference for the industry.

SOFTWARE
First stage will be an Android OS fork ready-to-deploy in any hardware labeled as Puzzle Phone Compatible (PPC).

CREATING THE MOVEMENT
Provide support and certification that enables standard compliance by all the stakeholders: end users, developers and manufacturers.

“We want to provide the openness that the new and more effective value chain requires.“

“This is not undertaken in the old fashioned context of The First Industrial Revolution but according to what has been called the Prosumer Revolution. Knowledge will no longer constrained by holding patents and building private walled gardens around them. Prosumers do not care about who holds which patent; they are informed individuals who recognize the ideas’ value for what it is, not because some- body filed a paper, stored in a safe waiting to become outdated, misused, or even worse, serve as a weapon against other people’s ideas. In that sense The Puzzle Phone Foundation’s mission is also to be a trusted beacon for the platform.”

“To offer the world a new kind of engineering and a common marketplace platform for hardware, guided from its roots to conceive and manufacture products of all kinds with something in common: they were built to last and designed for the lowest ecological impact. Unique pieces of equipment that can be acquired, improved or repaired thanks to the transparent access to their blueprints and source code. Those willing to modify, improve or develop new products based on them will be free to do so. Those willing to learn will be welcome and encouraged by a community of equals.“
