Lime Microsystems LimeSDR Board & Enclosure
Lime Microsystems Lime Software Defined Radio (LimeSDR) Board and Enclosure is a low-cost, open-source, and apps-enabled board that supports any type of wireless communication standard. This LimeSDR board can send and receive UMTS, LTE, GSM, LoRa, BLUETOOTH®, Zigbee, RFID, and digital broadcasting. The LimeSDR board is the first SDR to integrate with Snappy Ubuntu Core. These SDR platforms are ideal for radio astronomy, 2G to 4G cellular basestations, IoT gateways, RADAR, aviation transponders, media streaming, and developers manipulating wireless signals.
The LimeSDR Board features 10 U.FL connectors for connecting external antennas, such as the Taoglas CAB.721. The LimeSDR with Aluminum Kit and LimeSDR Acrylic Case also features SMA (SubMiniature A) connectors for connecting external antennas, such as the Taoglas TG.09.0113. The CS-LIME-02 is an enclosure for a single board computing LimeSDR built with an acrylic case.
