Turris Omnia
Turris Omnia is a crowdfunded open-source and open-hardware SOHO network router developed by the CZ.NIC association.
On 31 January 2016 the Turris Omnia was presented at FOSDEM 2016.[1]
First deliveries are expected in 2016.[2]
Design
The Turris Omnia is designed to provide its owner with freedom in use. As such it uses open-source software and open hardware.[3]
A second design decision is to provide the router with automated software updates, so software vulnerabilities can be addressed quickly, a unique feature among SOHO routers.[4]
Thirdly, the router is intended to yield a sufficient performance that it can handle gigabit traffic and double as home server, NAS and print server.[3]
Funding
Funding for the Turris Omnia attempted via a crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo with a target of 100 000 US$ by 12 January 2016. As the deadline passed, the funding had reached 857 000 US$.[2]
As 7 May 2016 the funding had reached 1 102 487 US$.[2]
Specifications
The Turris Omnia runs the TurrisOS, an OpenWrt derivative. It is powered by a 1.6 GHz dual-core Marvell Armada 385 ARM CPU. The base model has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB flash storage, a real-time clock with battery backup, a SFP module and a hardware cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. Via Mini PCI Express it supports WIFI in the form of 3x3 MIMO 802.11ac and the older 2x2 MIMO 802.11b/g/n. Its connectivity consists of:
- 1 WAN and 5 LAN GBit ports
- 2 USB 3.0 ports
- 2 Mini PCI Express
- 1 mSATA / mini PCI Express
- 1 SIM card slot[4]
