Seems to be a crypto based cell network thing?
"Magma provides a new way to incentive users to create their own peer to peer networks that provide cellular network infrastructure by offering cryptocurrency rewards."
- slut 4y agoThat sounds more like Helium/FreedomFi, which is probably utilizing Magma. Magma itself came out of Facebook Connectivity and has nothing to do with crytpo AFAIK
- birdman3131 4y agoFrom the magma site itself. https://magmacore.org/deploy-magma/ https://magmacore.org/deploy-magma/
- slut 4y agoYeah it references FreedomFi directly there...
- rektide 4y agoFrom the actual link, > Magma is an open-source software platform that gives network operators an open, flexible and extensible mobile core network solution. It's mostly about packing network processing stacka onto pc based systems.
- wferrell 4y agoI think you are thinking of http://pollenmobile.io http://pollenmobile.io which uses magma
- kotaKat 4y agoYes and no. There's a couple major groups (FreedomFi and Pollen) that are leveraging Magma's software stack to run their cellular networks, yes - those are probably the two largest Magma users right now that are publicly known and where a lot of the development resources (seem) to be going (mainly support for eNodeBs - LTE base station radios - that the FreedomFi/Pollen projects primarily use and are low cost COTS solutions). But anyone could deploy a Magma Orchestrator in the cloud, build local Access Gateways, link everything together, and roll their own cell network around Magma's setup, no crypto required. CBRS LTE changes everything in the US.
