LimeSDR can send and receive UMTS, LTE, GSM, LoRa, Bluetooth, Zigbee, RFID, and Digital Broadcasting, to name but a few.<\/p>\n
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 \u2013 it\u2019s 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\u2019re a developer yourself, you can share and\/or sell your LimeSDR apps through Snappy Ubuntu Core as well.<\/p>\n
The LimeSDR platform gives system developers, inventors, and even students an intelligent and flexible device for manipulating wireless signals, so they can learn, experiment, and develop products and applications.<\/p>\n
From Radio Astronomy to Personal Telcos
\nHere are just some of the applications that are possible with the LimeSDR:<\/p>\n
Radio astronomy
\nRADAR
\n2G to 4G cellular basestation
\nMedia streaming
\nIoT gateway
\nHAM radio
\nWireless keyboard and mice emulation and detection
\nTire pressure monitoring systems
\nAviation transponders
\nUtility meters
\nDrone command and control
\nTest and measurement
\nMany more\u2026
\nWith state-of-the-art technical specs, fully open hardware and toolchain, and integration with Snappy Ubuntu Core\u2019s app distribution platform, LimeSDR is limited only by our collective imagination.<\/p>\n
