Rationale
Creating a "starter kit" for the Magma Core project, a 4G/5G communications initiative, serves as a foundational tool that enables users to swiftly engage with the technology and start testing various use cases. The kit, comprising the AGW, the 4G/5G radio units and customer premises equipment (CPEs), is designed to simplify the initial setup process, thereby allowing users to bypass the complexities typically associated with setting up a 4G/5G network from scratch. This ease of access is particularly beneficial for small businesses, educational institutions, and developers who may not have extensive resources or expertise in telecommunications. By providing a ready-to-use package, the Magma Core project ensures that a broader audience can experiment with and adopt advanced communication technologies.
