Nice, I’ve seen a lot of open stuff out there for building GSM networks, it’s cool to see some more recent stuff as well. I have a limesdr sitting at home I haven’t had the chance to play with much, so I may have to try this out.

I’m not too familiar with cellular networks, but I’ve been curious about 5G networks as well. I wonder how long it will take for us to see similar projects for those.

Well, seeing as 5G is currently a cat diarrhea smoothie, probably a while. It's literally better to just use LTE in most cases. I get the feeling LTE will be around and supported for a long time to come.

mmWave 5G is somewhat of a dud but the LTE "evolution" 5G, if you will, is pretty great, especially in major cities with RF capacity constraints.
