Blackphone
The Blackphone was a smartphone built to ensure privacy, developed by SGP Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Silent Circle. Originally, SGP Technologies was a joint venture between the makers of GeeksPhone and Silent Circle. Marketing is focused upon business users, stressing that employees often conduct business using private devices and services that are not secure and that the Blackphone service readily provides users with options that ensure confidentiality when needed. Blackphone provides Internet access through VPN. The device runs a modified version of Android called SilentOS that comes with a bundle of security-minded tools.
Versions of the Blackphone were sold from 2014 to 2016. While precise sales figures were not released, it is widely speculated to have been a financial disappointment due to the resulting near-bankruptcy of Silent Circle combined with Silent Circle canceling the phone.
