What is Project “Ara”?

Project Ara is: An Initiative by Google. Envisioned technology. A highly modular Smartphone.

Project Ara is leaded byPAUL EREMENKO

Why we need it?

Reduces E-waste. Easily Upgradable. Convenient shape and structure. Flexible.

What it is made up of?

Endos.Modules.

Endoskeleton Sizes: mini, medium and

large. Can hold up to 6,8 and 9

modules. Electro-permanent

magnets to hold modules in position.

Modules

3 New Technologies used in Phonebloks

UniPro. Capacitive M-Phy. Electro-Permanent Magnets.

UniPro

Layer 1: Physical LayerLayer 1.5: PHY adapterLayer 2: Data LinkLayer 3: NetworkLayer 4: TransportLA: Application Layer

CAPACITIVE M-PHY

Connection points won't be worn down over time from swapping modules in and out of the phone.

ELECTRO-PERMANENT MAGNETS

Features

Inbuilt battery along with external one. Buying modules on an e-commerce site

which would look like Google play store. Modules can have multiple functions. Long life.

BenefitsCustomizable as per users

requirement. Affordable price.Hardware independent.Modular though fixed in size.Reduces E-waste. Infinite possibilities.

Drawbacks Lacking high-end specs and designs. Future smartphones continue to be

rectangular slabs. Not flexible. Supports only Android OS. It won’t be optimized.

Future Scope

The benefits of a modular phone will become compelling to consumers once ATAP can get issues of weight, battery life, and size reduced down to a certain point . ALSO custom enclosures and super-charged batteries may appeal to the high end of the market .
