Intel and Nokia back open source for mobile
The two tech companies are behind the oFono project for open source telephony.


The oFono project for open source telephony has received backing from Intel and Nokia.
A blog post on the oFono site confirmed the two massive tech companies are supporting the launch of oFono.org.
Marcel Holtmann, from the Intel Open Source Technology Centre, said: "oFono.org is a place to bring developers together around designing an infrastructure for building mobile telephony (GSM/UMTS) applications."
"Nokia and Intel will jointly maintain the oFono project [and] we'd like to invite all developers to join the ofono.org effort and community."
The post also provides details of the source code and an "oFono architecture diagram."
