From the Cloud-SDR website:
The Cloud-SDR Concept
You need a way to remotely access your existing SDR receiver? To stream your IQ samples to another remote computer over the network?
Cloud-SDR is a commercial software solution to enable real time RF data sharing or processing through the cloud.
Cloud-SDR can collect real-time IQ complex samples from an SDR hardware device connected on one machine, stream the samples to a second machine for demodulation or analysis, then send the resulting stream to third machine for storage.
In standalone mode, Cloud-SDR can execute signal processing tasks described with embedded JavaScript DSP engine.
Because network bandwidth is limited compared to SDR receiving bandwidth, the core concept of Cloud-SDR is to move the processing along the cloud to where it is required or possible : the DSP chain is divided in sub-tasks that are spread between computers interconnected through Internet.
Very cool, Sylvain!
I like the fact your system supports popular affordable SDRs like the SDRplay RSP & AirSpy and that you can stream your IQ samples.
