Why is this a breakthrough? Just because the platform costs under $100?

320MSPS at this frequencies for less than $100 that can be extracted over 10GBit/s.

This was worth upper 4- to 5-digit of dollars of equipment before.

I work in this industry and sold more than one kidney for this stuff.

Same for the ESP-SDR project. Most likely it can be used for transmitting on S-Band for satellite control in the future (with an amplifier, dish, maybe some filtering). The HF-Frontend is Wi-Fi certified and therefore quite clean. I've forwarded this project to a friend who's close to ESA staff.
