An Introduction…
Project Ara is the codename for an initiative
by Google that aims to develop a free, open
hardware platform for creating highly modular
smartphones.
The platform will include a structural frame that
holds smartphone modules of the owner's choice.
It would allow users to swap out malfunctioning
modules or upgrade individual modules.
Google says the phone is designed to be used by
"six billion people“.
Providing longer lifetime cycles for the handset, and
potentially reducing electronic waste.
Project Ara looks forward to lower the entry barrier
for phone hardware manufacturers.
Anyone will be able to build a module without
requiring a license or paying a fee.
Project Goal…
Structure and features…
Built using modules inserted into metal
endoskeletal frames known as "endos“.
The frame will be the only component in an Ara
phone made by Google.
Two frame sizes available: "mini", a frame about
the size of a Nokia 3310 and "medium", about the
size of a LG Nexus 5.
Frames have slots on the front for the display and
other modules and the back has additional slots for
modules.
Continue…
Modules provide common smartphone features,
such as cameras and speakers.
Each slot on the frame will accept any module of
the correct size.
Modules can be hot-swapped without turning the
phone off.
The frame also includes a small backup battery so
the main battery can be swapped.
Development…
Initial exploration of this concept began in 2012 and
work started on 2013.
Dutch designer Dave Hakkens announced
the modular phone concept independently in 2013.
Motorola publicly announced Project Ara on
October 29, 2013 and said they will be working
collaboratively with Dave.
Motorola went on a 5-month road trip throughout
the United States in 2013 called "MAKEwithMOTO"
to gauge consumer interest in customized phones.
Planned events…
Google plans a series of three Developers'
Conferences throughout 2014.
More than 3300 developers have signed up to the
first conference scheduled for April 15-16.
Google plans to release the developers' kit on
April15 during the developers conference.
Commercial release is planned for Q1 2015.
Project Team…
Project Ara was developed and is led by Paul Eremenko (Employee
at Motorola).
The core Project Ara team at Google consists of two people with
most of the work being done by outside contractors.
One of the main contractors is NK Labs.
A firm whose co-founder is Ara Knaian, of which Project Ara was
named after.
Another contractor is 3D Systems.
The project was originally headed by the Advanced Technologies and
Projects team within Motorola Mobility.

electronic waste.
Increased life span of the cell phones we are using at
current.
Thank You…
