Canonical: software-defined radio whitepaper

Canonical and Lime Micro, developers of telco-in-a-box, wanted help creating a whitepaper looking at the impact of opensource and software-defined on the telecoms industry.

Why? Because operators must find ways to drive down costs wherever possible, and a progressive way to do that is through the commoditisation and democratisation of wireless network infrastructure. For a long time the telecoms industry has been dominated by proprietary business and operating models, but with pressure on to find innovative ways forward, operators must find a new approach.

A key component and enabler of a programmable base station is software-defined radio (SDR), which can revolutionise the traditional RAN landscape and make it easier for operators to rollout tailored services to different customer segments, at a reduced cost.

This whitepaper was used in a lead-generation campaign.
