[ubuntu-za] Low-power communications device

[Wayne Abroue]

MAYBE if you can give some idea as to what you would like to do? There are
hundreds of different hardware types out there to choose from, but most
will rely on what would you actually like to achieve.

If voice communications is what you're after, try openbts, or serval
project or even village-telco.
