Hi,
is anyone trracking Facebook and their OpenCellular project ?

To me this looks like  re-implementation OpenBTS but as software defined radio.

If you missed announcement from Facebook:
https://code.facebook.com/posts/1754757044806180/introducing-opencellular-an-open-source-wireless-access-platform/

If Facebook releases this platform as open hardware this could be
interesting platform for open mesh networks...

Facebook approach is to use software defined radio and so far they got
2G working but they plan to have everything from 2G to LTE and Wifi
done in SDR.

Looks like a really interesting project... if anyone has some info
please share because their press release is quite sparse with any
concrete info...

Cheers.
