modem isolation" style="width: 250px; float: left;"/></a>
The modem system on telephony-enabled mobile
devices is always proprietary.
- While <a
href="//bb.osmocom.org/">OsmocomBB</a>, a free software GSM stack exists, it
only runs on old feature phones, currently requires a host computer to operate
and is not certified to run on public networks.
+ While <a
href="//bb.osmocom.org/">OsmocomBB</a>, a free software GSM stack exists, it
only runs on some old feature phones, or on the modem used in the OpenMokos.
+ It currently requires a host computer to
operate and is not certified to run on public networks.
Despite this situation, the modem remains a
crucial part for privacy/security: it is nearly always connected to the GSM
network, allowing for <a

The modem can be more or less damaging to
privacy/security depending on what hardware it has access to and can control.
That is to say, how isolated it is from the
rest of the device.<br /><br />
