Open Source is great. This device does not support 5 GHz Wi-Fi. In most urban areas 2.4 GHz is congested and subject to interference from drones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, cordless phones, Bluetooth, etc. A low duty cycle 5 GHz channel is much more conducive to good call quality.
- kop316 4y agoAs of now, it is now open source: https://www.wiphone.io/downloads.html https://www.wiphone.io/downloads.html Firmware: Latest firmware is sent with your phone. Once we are done shipping all the pre-orders we will publish the firmware on the web. If you want to be notified when the firmware is publically released, we will send a notification to the mailing list, or feel free to check back periodically.
- octoberfranklin 4y agoThere's nothing about source code there. The Wiphone folks have been notoriously evasive when people ask about source code. I'm pretty certain it will never see the light of day. I don't blame them for that decision; it's the only way to not get cloned out of existence. But I do blame them for not being forthright about it.
