====== UmTRX publicly released ======

The [[http://code.google.com/p/umtrx/|UmTRX]] is a dual-channel, wide-band SDR transceiver (so it can send & receive) with 1GbE connection. It is developed by Fairwaves team to be used as a transceiver for [[http://wush.net/trac/rangepublic|OpenBTS]] GSM base stations, but due to its software defined nature, it could be used for many other radio applications as well.

~~CL~~

If the speed of development continues at this pace and more and more people finally realize the benefits of open resources and release their projects under an open & free licence, in less than 10 years, there won't be any proprietary, patented and overly expensive, hardware-based radio left on the planet. Awesome!
