From Alexander.Chemeris at fairwaves.co Sat Feb 28 21:01:38 2015 From: Alexander.Chemeris at fairwaves.co (Alexander Chemeris) Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2015 22:01:38 +0100 Subject: [osmocom-commercial] Fairwaves UmSITE-TM3 Open Source Edition announcement Message-ID: Dear Osmocom fans, Fairwaves is proud to announce that Open Source Edition of UmSITE-TM3 ? a rugged 2x3W GSM base station, designed for rural and remote regions and extreme climate conditions ? is now available to order . UmSITE-TM3 is based on the same flexible architecture as UmDESK, built with industrial-grade components and rugged packaging. Two independent TRX channels, each with 3W TX power (6W total), make it ideal for outdoor installations covering areas of up to 5 km. Thanks to the modular open source software that comes pre-installed, this base station can be used for all manner of experiments and test installations. Built upon the UmTRX SDR transceiver, UmSITE-TM3 OSE is the perfect platform for Osmocom and OpenBTS GSM applications. *UmSITE-TM3 OSE Key features* - rugged IP65/IP67 design that can operate in ambient temperatures of up to +55C with direct sunlight; - all-in-one solution which integrates dual-channel transceiver, single board computer (SBC), amplifiers, duplexers and all required RF components; - 6W total RF output power (3W per channel); - pre-installed Osmocom software stack that can be configured to operate in Network-in-The-Box (NITB) and pure BTS/BSC modes; - compatible with the OpenBTS software stack. *Mobile World Congress demo* If you're attending MWC in Barcelona this week, we invite you to come to see UmSITE-TM3 as part of a live demo of a completely open-source mobile network at the Canonical/Ubuntu booth at Hall 8.1 at App Planet Stand CC8.20. *FAQ* *Is there a commercial version?* We are currently developing a commercial version of the UmSITE-TM3, which will be integrated with the Fairwaves core network, for use by companies who would like to use them to operate commercial GSM networks. Stay tuned for more details! *Will it work with UMTS/LTE?* While the UmTRX SDR transceiver hardware is perfectly capable of handling UMTS and LTE waveforms, the SBC used by the UmSITE-TM3 has an Intel Atom processor, which doesn't have quite enough processing power to handle UMTS or LTE. So, unfortunately the answer is "no". *We would like to take this opportunity to give our thanks to **Rhizomatica* * for their early feedback, **BJT Partners* * for their role in its development, Lime Microsystems for open-source friendly SDR chips and to everyone else for their support!* -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.
