The Necuno is a phone-like mobile device from Finland, where it is also exclusively manufactured.[4] It seeks to provide a high level security and user privacy[2] by omitting the cellular modem,[5] thus not being able to use the regular mobile phone network, instead offering VOIP via a peer-to-peer encrypted communications platform called Ciphra.[6] However, standard cellular connectivity is planned for later versions.[7] The Necuno is mostly open-source,[1] apart from an isolated firmware blob without access to the main memory,[3] used in the Wi-fi driver for regulatory reasons.[8] The device uses Plasma Mobile by default, but can run a variety of open-source mobile operating systems.[2]
Unusually for a phone-like device, the Necuno has an ethernet port.[7]
