Rip and replace is such a long Huawei to go, UK telcos plead, citing 'blackouts' and 'billion pound' costs: Are Vodafone and BT playing 'Project Fear'?

I already have the Ryzens and and already working on the SDR software part. The Ryzen-9 PCI-101 board design WILL BE FREE AND OPEN SOURCE!

That's nice. But presumably you'll be getting all necessary licensing and certifications so that it could be used in a public network? And be able to offer support for carrier customers who'd be looking to order in 1K-10K units? Which is kind of the problem with 5G, ie for NR FR2 in a metro config, it'll support N users.. providing it's a mini-metro and users are less than a few hundred meters from the RAN.

But that's one of those challenges with 5G, namely to get the bandwidth, you want FR2, but then your range drops and you need thousands of cells.. So costs need to be kept as low as possible.
