Re: UHD 4.1 and support for the NI Ettus USRP X410

[Alex Humberstone]

Haydn, thanks for the announcement. X410 looks awesome, the 400 MHZ channel bandwidth is incredible. Spoke to my advisor about it. Perfect fit for some of our 5G and spectrum monitoring work. But we're not sure we can afford the $20,000 price tag. We have some sticker shock here to be honest. Do you guys at NI offer any academic discounts? All the work in our lab is non profit and non commercial. Kevin in the previous post might have the same question, it looks like he's at CU Boulder. I'm thinking about coming to GNU Radio Conference. Will you guys have an X410 there?

Sincerely,

Hi Hayden - 

Is the cost for the X410 really $20,000 (https://www.ettus.com/all-products/usrp-x410/)?

Hello GNU Radio Community!

 

We at NI & Ettus Research have been hard at work advancing the USRP to the next level. We recently released the NI Ettus USRP X410.

 

Perhaps you saw that UHD 4.1 was merged to the UHD GitHub repository with support for a new USRP, the NI Ettus USRP X410, and that release 4.1.0.0rc1 was tagged? Release 4.1.0.0 is imminent!

 

This USRP is a new generation of radio, combining features of both the N- and the X-series USRPs, and is fully supported by UHD, RFNoC, and GNU Radio. It provides the highest performance of any USRP to date:

• More channels: 4x4 TX/RX
• More instantaneous bandwidth per channel: 400 MHz
• Greater tunable RF range: from 1 MHz to 7.2 GHz … pssst … it will actually tune up to 8 GHz
• Larger FPGA: the Xilinx ZU28DR RFSoC
• Higher bandwidth data connectivity: dual QSFP28 ports

 

Resources

• Read more on the Ettus Research website
• Check out 3dB Labs using the USRP X410

 

If you have interest in the USRP X410 please feel to reach out to us on the Ettus Research website.

 

We look forward to seeing you either physically or virtually at this year’s GNU Radio Conference in September.

 

Stay Safe
