There is a connection between Google (or is it Alphabet) and Bandwidth.com (the Republic Wireless parent company) that I can't quite figure out. Google Voice is mostly based on Bandwidth.com technology, and Republic Wireless and Google Fi are very similar products. Republic Wireless even claims they are about to release a dual-carrier option like Project Fi which they call Tempo.

It is possible that they are just competing, but it seems like there is more of a link there.

Republic Wireless is sticking to Motorola phones, there is that connection.
