Apollo-NG Mobile Hackbase

Apollo-NG Hackerspacecraft

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.

Software & hardware ecosystems as permanent sustainable culture

When you offer free services, funny things do happen: Some people seem to have found their way to the Apollo-NG pads and started to collaboratively work on a document about software and hardware ecosystems as a permanent sustainable culture.

So if you're interested in the subject and would like to participate, please join the discussion on the mentioned pad:

UmTRX publicly released

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.

[UmTRX SDR]

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!
