Albert Paijmans albert at vraagalex.nlThanks for all the answers. Maybe you heard about the Village-Telco Mesh Potato project? That started out with a router based of openwrt / dd-wrt, and then designed their own Mesh Potato. It is an embedded Asterisk with wifi and mesh networking. With SDR (software defined radio) would it not be possible to design / develop a cheap GSM basestation? I am a total noob on hardware development but I suppose there is a large market for this. Or maybe somebody already working on reverse engineering other base stations like the nanobts? If one wanted to design a base station controller, what would be needed? Do you really need something like http://www.percello.com/prc6000.php Or might something simpler be possible with modifying a router and with a different antenna on 1800mhz?
