Sorry, but preaching Open Source to Osmocom is quite misplaced. Small companies across the world have made considerable investment in effort and money to get 3G support into the Open, and besides sysmocom offering the much more expensive SysmoCell5000 series, it's a major highlight that the much cheaper nano3G was also made to work with Osmocom, specifically to allow remotely affordable Open Source 3G hacking. Sysmocom also gave away quite a few of them for free during the Accelerate3G5 project. I see it as a major achievement to whip all of this up while being a (small) company that is still able to pay wages and taxes. So please, hold your horses there, seriously. One key item that is not in Open Source yet is the RNC. If we then add an SDR implementation for a UMTS transceiver, we could do completely without proprietarily licensed hardware. Open Source lives by contribution, so you are more than welcome to bring in your part and implement these (or fund someone to do so). Feel free to browse http://sysmocom.de and/or enquire at sales at sysmocom.de about 3G hardware to go with Osmocom. I'm a developer, not familiar with the sales details. Or maybe you can persuade ip.access to hand out Free firmware? ~N -- - Neels Hofmeyr <nhofmeyr at sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Alt-Moabit 93 * 10559 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschäftsführer / Managing Directors: Harald Welte -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
