Choose an SDR or a compatible CDMA2000 femtocell for radio coverage. Below are the supported radio options and a sample of the handsets 1xBTS has been tested with. Most CDMA2000 1x phones should work; EV-DO needs a handset, modem, or data card with HRPD support.
The primary development target. Full sample-rate and timing discipline over UHD, including combined 1x + HRPD composite operation.
Ettus Research ↗Native backend with configurable stream buffers, including combined 1x + HRPD composite operation.
Nuand ↗Native mode with RX sample-delay compensation for 1x operation.
Lime Microsystems ↗Generic SoapySDR path for other radios. May work for 1x, but isn't regularly exercised and is not the primary EV-DO path.
SoapySDR ↗Build steps and dependencies are on the Download page.
An Ethernet-connected CDMA2000 femtocell with its own radio. The airave-25-2x profile supplies device-specific provisioning and voice handling.
Other femtocells need a compatible device profile, credentials, and provisioning settings. The generic profile is a starting point, not a promise that every CDMA2000 femtocell will work.
No SDR is required. You need control of the device's bootstrap DNS, its authentication credentials, and any required GPS antenna. Follow Femtocell Setup.
A sample of what we've run; many more CDMA2000 1x handsets work. For EV-DO testing, use a hybrid handset or data card that supports HRPD Rev 0 or Rev A.
