ARLA/CLUSTER: LimeSDR - A nova geração de código aberto para SDR´s quer-se mais flexível

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

LimeSDR. Flexible, next-generation, open source software-defined radio

'What makes LimeSDR interesting is that it is using Snappy Ubuntu Core
as a sort of app store. Developers can make code available, and
end-users can easily download and install that code.'

EE, the UK’s largest operator and with the most innovative 4G
deployment, has backed the campaign at the 100-pack pledge level!
They will distribute the 100 LimeSDRs to educational institutions across the UK

A Software Defined Radio for Everyone

LimeSDR is a low cost, open source, apps-enabled (more on that later)
software defined radio (SDR) platform that can be used to support just
about any type of wireless communication standard. LimeSDR can send
and receive UMTS, LTE, GSM, LoRa, Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID, and Digital
Broadcasting, to name but a few.

While most SDRs have remained in the domain of RF and protocol
experts, LimeSDR is usable by anyone familiar with the idea of an app
store - it’s the first SDR to integrate with Snappy Ubuntu Core. This
means you can easily download new LimeSDR apps from developers around
the world. If you’re a developer yourself, you can share and/or sell
your LimeSDR apps through Snappy Ubuntu Core as well.

The LimeSDR platform gives students, inventors, and developers an
intelligent and flexible device for manipulating wireless signals, so
they can learn, experiment, and develop with freedom from limited
functionality and expensive proprietary devices.

>From Radio Astronomy to Personal Telcos

Here are just some of the applications that are possible with the LimeSDR:

Radio astronomy
RADAR
2G to 4G cellular basestation
Media streaming
IoT gateway
HAM radio
Wireless keyboard and mice emulation and detection
Tire pressure monitoring systems
Aviation transponders
Utility meters
Drone command and control
Test and measurement
Many more…
