Business Model
Sell low-cost, easy to use software radio kits
Build a community of users
Keep a very low overhead
Fit into the niche between �consumer-level� and �testequipment level� price and performance
Engineering Model
Use mid-sized, low-cost FPGAs
Allow user to reprogram, build o� of our open-source IP
Leverage from, and give back to the Open Source community
Rapid design turnaround, keep up with the latest chips andcapabilities
Use highly-integrated parts where possible
Universal drivers allow use with any software stack
