Introducing OpenCellular: An open source wireless access platform

Introduced OpenCellular, an open-source, cost-effective, software-defined wireless access platform designed to improve connectivity in remote areas. The platform supports 2G, LTE, and Wi-Fi, and is composed of two main subsystems: General-purpose and Base-band Computing (GBC) with integrated power and housekeeping, and Radio Frequency (RF) with an integrated analog front-end. The hardware design, firmware, and control software are planned to be open-sourced to enable local deployment and operation of wireless infrastructure. The design emphasizes modularity, scalability, low CAPEX/OPEX, simplified installation, and maximization of existing infrastructure.
