* Free and Open Source Software
* typically strong in infrastructure and embedded
* Linux to be found in many unexpected places today
* [various examples]
* Benefits of FOSS
* reduced "software BOM" cost
* joint development resources leading to less R&D cost at each
individual user (compared to custom implementation)
* more eyes reviewing code than any organization has developers in-house
* existing community-driven FOSS projects
* gnuradio
* do SDR on x86, use C++ blocks connected by python scripts
* GUI for visually creating signal processing flow-graphs
* strength in research and prototyping of SDR applications
* OpenBTS
* airprobe
* GSM receiver for protocol analysis
* Osmocom (TETRA, GMR, SDR, ...)
* inexpensive SDR hardware
* USRP family (>= USD 1000)
* OsmoSDR (USD 200)
* receive-only, 1.4 Ms/s @ 14bit (HW v3: 4.2 Ms/s)
* 64 MHz ... 2 GHz
* small FPGA + Cortex-M3
* rtl-sdr (USD 20)
* 64 MHz ... 2 GHz
* ?? Ms/s @ 8 bit
* raw samples
* UmTRX
* inexpensive "low-end" SDR hardware + FOSS go hand in hand
* enable participation in research and development to anyone with sufficient time and interest
* beyond traditional telecom industry
* beyond top-tier universities with large research grants
* removes entry barriers
* small businesses can innovate and participate in the market
* accessibility of technology
* UFPA / Brazil
* ENSPT / Yaounde
* slides from "FOSS in telco / security"
* what can the industry get from this?
* ennabling students, researchers and hobbyists to experiment and build skills (whihc are
