Software radio is here, and it’s open source

Filed under: — adam @ 2:15 pm

I’ve been talking about software radio for a while, and wondering when it would become cheap. Basically, all wireless devices are just radios of different kinds, and there’s no theoretical reason why one device couldn’t talk to them all. Except that it was prohibitively expensive, but apparently it’s not anymore.

This is very very cool.

The software’s open source, and the hardware is cheap:
