Artificial Intelligence Radio–Transceiver review
By Marc de Vinck. Posted
This article was originally published as part of HackSpace magazine, which has since been incorporated into Raspberry Pi Official Magazine.
With three integrated processors, the Artificial Intelligence Radio-Transceiver (AIR-T) is capable of harnessing all that power, and leverage machine learning, to allow for fully autonomous signal identification and interference mitigation. There is even an embedded GPU for real-time, wide-band digital signal processing and deep learning.
And yes, this is all getting way above my skill set, but that also makes it incredibly intriguing – to learn more about the state-of-the-art in machine learning and SDR technologies. The AIR-T comes preloaded with AirStack, which includes all the components necessary to run an Ubuntu-based OS, the AIR-T-specific drivers, and the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA firmware. If you’d like to integrate TensorFlow, Caffe, Keras, or PyTorch with an SDR, along with six CPU cores, then you should check out the AIR-T. Just make sure that you really need its power, because it comes at a fairly high price.
Verdict
8/10
Amazing performance, albeit at a higher price point.

If the planet gets too hot/too cold/too drizzly for human habitation, we’ll probably want to leave Earth in search of a better one. That means we’ll need a flight computer, and maker Michael Newton is one step ahead: he’s built a replica of the DSKY (display keyboard) interface from the Apollo Guidance Computer. Now you […]
