It's a middleware between different telephony/3G hardware and the
application layer.<br>

Different vendor implementations are quite different hardware wise
and a PITA to support, this projects seems to take away this pain
point.<br>

Though the 3GPP standards describe to some extent how stuff should
work, you'll find subtle but evil differences. Some devices require
you to load binary firmware, others require usb_modeswitch with some
specific model-specific tweaks, others just come up as a serial
device (ttyUSBx) as it should be... you want to abstract these
differences away and only provide *one* layer for placing phone
calls, SMS, the audio interface, setting up an Internet connection,
etc...<br>

That's how I understand oFono. For more questions you might want to
talk to the developers or RTFM on
