Perhaps the most fundamental difference between the USRP and the Phi is the target market. Ettus is focused on serving relatively sophisticated customers. "You're not going to see our stuff at Fry's or Best Buy," he told us.

In contrast, Per Vices hopes to bring the benefits of software-defined radio to the masses. He draws parallels to the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Both are cheap, simple devices that have proven wildly popular with hobbyists.

At $750, the Phi costs about as much as the cheapest USRP-plus-daughterboard bundle offered by Ettus Research. It also boasts a much faster interface. And Wollesen is hoping to achieve dramatic price cuts in the coming years. "Price drops astronomically with scale," he told us.

As the cost of the Phi comes down, he hopes many more people will become interested in experimenting with software-defined radio. "We want people to be able to design RF protocols with the same ease as building Rails apps," he said.
