Maybe we shouldn't start using the `femto` prefix yet.

Cats already out of the bag on that one... The term femtocell isn't exactly new -- it's been used in the wireless world for some time now.

Apologies asking a dumb question, but I am curious why you would say this...?

Not the GP, but... it has a specific meaning in the sciences:

I'd imagine the argument against using it is that it's being used in a less precise way. Femtocell is a name commonly used for a consumer-level device to extend a cellular network. One could argue that use of femto should have some bearing on the radio being used.

I misunderstood, and assumed femto refered to the board size, as compared to the original limesdr.
