Performance will probably be terrible though! With enough human years of effort, you could take almost any radio hardware for sale today and repurpose it to speak nearly any other radio protocol in similar frequency bands. If you were writing the firmware of the device, you needn't use them though. are frequently done in digital hardware acceleration blocks for performance, and saving power. Some of the typically "software" bits like FFT's, various encodings, checksums, clock recovery etc. The radio frontend is typically a downmixer and then straight into digital. Nearly all modern radio chipsets are mostly software defined. That being said, I do think if a startup could challenge this landscape, it is a HUGE opportunity. I can't see this kind of thing having much in the way of legs in a large corp.
Given Android's archetype (software solution to closed hardware), this puts such a project into a much more difficult position politically and financially.
Will a solid BLE stack sell phones? Hard to say how it could drive that narrative, realistically, and even harder to say if such a controller could be made cost effectively. That being said, building silicon is non trivial work, and building a BLE stack and controller is even more so. Prior to Android, all we had were closed source low powered feature phones and Blackberries. It's always been a software answer to a hardware problem, even today. Standard disclaimer follows: I rejoined in the last two years, what follows are my opinions, these opinions are my own, blah blah.Īndroid has never been about driving the hardware narrative - it's always been about building a phone with mostly open contributions and driving the start of a wedge to open up the phone industry a bit.
I can't speak to this directly because of numerous reasons, chiefly among them being that I don't get to make those decisions.
