Hi Syam,

AFAIK what has been done as far as on the Pi is concerned is using the 
RPI 900 with a DNT module. I do not know whether the DNT Module is the 
same as shared or not. There are two it seems, DNT 900 and DNT 2400 
(spells suspiciously close to TNT and am guessing it would also be 
disruptive to current telecom monopolies.)

See http://rpi900.com/hardware/features.html

I *think* the real innovation is yet to take place, both in terms of 
power, bandwidth and materials.

As shared by Vikas, both these products would need to be imported, and 
while hamara would be looking to import the antennae and the DNT module, 
what would be kick-ass is if we could have some sort of local 
replacements of the radio antennae as well as the DNT module.

Even the laptop antennae on the other end that was show-cased was a 
hack. I would guess and believe, we need to find something much more 
cheaper and sturdier material (as that antennae is extremely fragile as 
was shared by Gurvinder) .

So there's lot of possibility of innovation which probably would lead to 
something which can be at a deployable state.

Hope Vikas chimes in with some more details.
