Open Source 5G on ARM

Open Source 5G on a Drone This past summer Geon explored a new, embedded development workflow creating applications for a drone platform. We selected the platform because it was the most cost effective way to get access to a Qualcomm®

Digital Radio Controller

Digital Radio Control (DRC) in OpenCPI

What is a Digital Radio Controller (DRC)? The DRC is a software methodology for controlling multi-channel digital radios in a way that is portable across differing radio hardware. It consists of supporting C++ classes and the drc OpenCPI component specification

Implementing a low cost 5G Lab

Recently in our blog we talked about how we leveraged Open Air Interfaces(OAI) and USRP SDRs to stand up a low cost 5G network for experimentation. Next, we wanted to detail what it would take for anybody else to implement

5G

Open Source 5G With SDR

Testing and developing with 5G networks is often costly for one main reason, the testbed. Traditional 5G testbeds can cost upwards of $100,000 in hardware alone which prices out many organizations from learning about and contributing to 5G development. Geon
