NI USRP vs Ettus USRP

[flintstone]

Hi,

 

today I received a newsletter for the NI USRP platform so I looked a bit into it and now I wonder what kind of hardware this is. When comparing with the USRPs sold by  Ettus Research which is the "standard" USRP supplier it seems that the NI 2920 USRP is either the USRP N200 or N210, the only visible difference from outside is the NI logo vs the Ettus logo. I'm really curious about this, does somebody know which hardware the NI USRP is?

 

Best regards,

According to wikipedia

 

National Instruments sells the NI USRP 292x series, which is functionally equivalent to the Ettus Research USRP N210. NI also offers LabVIEW support for this device with the NI-USRP Driver

 

The only major difference I can tell is the size of the FPGA and NI don't state that there even is one in their docs.

Thanks, when looking at the picture it seems like it is the same box (only for double the price ).

Compared to the markup on resistors, cables and other items, that's a steal!
