Rustic Retreat
Hot Projects
Live broadcasts and documentation from a remote tech outpost in rustic Portugal. Sharing off-grid life, the necessary research & development and the pursuit of life, without centralized infrastructure.
Apollo-NG is a mobile, self-sustainable, independent and highly-experimental Hackbase, focused on research, development and usage of next-generation open technology while visiting places without a resident, local Hackerspace and offering other Hackers the opportunity to work together on exciting projects and to share fun, food, tools & resources, knowledge, experience and inspiration.
Just a quickie and not really Apollo related but it took me a while to figure out how to implement Sipgate-Team trunks into Freeswitch, since the wiki only covers the single user sipgate accounts:
Good news for anyone playing and developing cheap SDR technology with the Elonics E4000 (e4k) tuner chip: Until now, working with the chip has mostly been guesswork and trial and error through reverse engineering, in order to get the SDR's to work. Today the complete Elonics E4000 reference documentation was leaked, so grab and mirror the e4k datasheets and application notes, while they are hot and available:

The 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 OpenBTS GSM base stations, but due to its software defined nature, it could be used for many other radio applications as well.
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!
