Over 16,000 LimeSDR Boards Shipped
LimeSDR allows any device to be equipped with a software enabled radio, opening up the possibility of embedding IoT gateways, 4G and/or 5G small cells in everyday consumer products. Lime’s board level products are available in a variety of configurations, making them ideal for integration into products as varied as high capacity macro cell solutions or cost-optimized consumer premises equipment.
Given their unique combination of industry leading performance and outstanding value for money, LimeSDR is also extremely popular with research, amateur radio, maker and enthusiast communities.
The list of potential applications is endless and LimeSDR hardware has been used in Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), radio astronomy, satcom, positioning and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to name but a few.
Radically Open
LimeSDR design and manufacturing files, FPGA gateware, firmware, software and APIs are all open source and made freely available. This gives customers a level of flexibility which only open source can provide, enabling further SWaP-C optimisation with very high volumes, and customisation for other specific requirements.
LimeSDR is supported via the MyriadRF open source community and in excess of 16,000 boards have been shipped to developers, labs and system builders across the globe.
