Vodafone develops ‘prototype 5G network’ built on a Raspberry Pi

Operator Vodafone’s R&D boffins have put together a device that functions as a 5G base station but runs on the simplest of hardware, apparently costing no more than a router.
Vodafone invited media and analysts to its Paddington HQ to show off the prototype gizmo that can apparently acts as a private 5G network. The headline innovation is that it is running off of a credit card sized Raspberry Pi computer within the housing, giving it both a small form factor price.
