- Radios need timing sources, typically PTP backed by GPS. Not clear what they do here. Esp important when you have multiple radios and you want your devices to be able to move between them. Then again, its not really stated that this is possible, either via S1 or X2.
- I cant see any packet core control software, eg wheres the EPC that the radio units talk to? That is a complex beast but not obviously present on their github/ukama.
- is it made in China, or not? The kind of (serious) people that would appreciate the website's claims that it's made in the USA are equivalently the people for whom China is just out of the question. Hey, I don't make the rules, just report them.
- CBRS needs a SAS. You can't throw up an outdoor radio in CBRS unless you are an approved installer and you have to configure the radio to ping the SAS every few minutes to get permission to broadcast. Not clear what ukamas position is on all this or if they just hope you'll buy and figure it out yourself.
1. We use GPS for timing and OSC sync. 2. We will be releasing the EPC code shortly, doing some clean up. Please star us so you get notified when it happens :) 3. It is Made in the USA. PCB assembly is done locally in the west coast. 4. Yes, we are integrating with CBRS SAS via device proxy. This will be done by the time hardware is shipped!
