I hate that you were downvoted for the unfortunately negative truth. Open source firmware, with radios seperate from cpus (and seperate DMA), is exactly what we need for security. All these proprietary peices, half from foreign countries, are more a threat to "national security" and "cybersecurity" than just about anything else. They want to pass CISA etc because of cybersecurity but their actions show levels of incompetence with few bounds.
When is the government going to embrace open source as a basis for security of users?
OpenBTS, YateBTS, OsmoBTS, and Osmo-BB are already doing some pretty interesting things. They could interact with existing networks if the devices running them could be FCC certified.

Fuck the FCC. We need open source radios.
