Broadcom’s BCM4389 chip is a client-side device supporting Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5 combo dedicated to mobile handset applications. The Wi-Fi 6E technology can operate on the 6 GHz band with 160MHz wide channels which is a progressive version of the Wi-Fi 6 technology. Hence, it enables speeds over 2 Gbps for faster communications than the Wi-Fi 6 that supports from 2.4GHz to 5GHz radio bands.

The concept of Software-defined radio is not new, it has been around for years. It is basically about moving complex signal handling over to a digital software platform via PCs and smart systems. While we have seen Artificial Intelligence already been implemented in a host of applications like speech recognition, gaming and autonomous vehicles, we are yet to see

Cyberdecks rock because their homebrewed nature lets them feature all kinds of nifty additional functionality. [Kaushlesh] has built his deck with an eye to ham radio use, and it’s a rugged and impressive thing. The deck is built into a weatherproof enclosure, with various 3D-printed parts helping to integrate the components into the clamshell enclosure. It
