OpenAirInterface: a new generation
The newest platform: ExpressMIMO2
Latest news in September 2013: Orange China, Beijing has connected OpenAirInterface code on a USRP
platform, in real-time, running at 6.25 MS/s. This achievement illustrates the validity of our Software Defined Radio approach in OAI, it is a World first.
Agilent China has used OAI platform as a Base station and set up a connexion with a commercial UE (Huawei E392U-12, FDD mode) !
