Since 2005 Lime has set out to radically change the wireless landscape. Our introduction of single chip fully programmable transceivers shook up the consensus that Software Defined RF components cannot be highly integrated. In order to make wireless technology available to a much broader range of system designers, we went beyond just providing the semiconductor components to providing open source SDR products.
Our next step was to extend the SDR products by incorporating them into boxed products that can be configured as wireless gateways, base stations and the entire wireless networks. These products are configured by downloading applications to create innovative designs customized to exact requirements. This “app enabled” philosophy introduces the white box concept into wireless communications for the first time.
