Dear Patrick,
I'm one of the founders of Per Vices. To confirm;
1. We are currently selling our device as test and measurement equipment. The intended use case is academic or research.
2. You're mostly correct about power - although it turns out that, depending on regulatory jurisdiction and the frequency or band of interest, power level can matter.
3. Actually, we're aiming for real time programming using gnuradio. You're absolutely right about the bursting, though - our initial programs were almost exactly as you described.
Long term, one of our driving goals is to drastically reduce the barriers (specifically cost and expertise) standing between the average software programmer, and a 'hello world' program that can usefully transmit information.
- patrickyeon 14y agoThanks for weighing in. I hope I don't come off too aggressively negative. I used to work for thinkRF (nearby, in Ottawa), and I think I was just exposed to too many people who counted on software to magic away everything. I feel like I need to keep enthusiasm in check, having seen the problems people will run in to.
- altrus 14y agoThat's perfectly valid - I don't immediately disagree with that approach; especially because there are many things software can't fix. But I also think it's much easier to address problems in software than in hardware...
