UGS is a portable system designed to send SMS messages and data to GSM
phones in a pre-defined area.
Unlike existed advertisement systems
UGS sends normal or flash SMS instead of broadcast messages (receipt of
broadcast messages can be disabled by mobile phone user);
UGS is an independent stand-alone system, which does not require any
cooperation with cellular operators.
UGS does not use phone numbers of mobile phones, hence there is no need in
the lists of phone numbers to be obtained from various sources. Those lists
are often not complete, outdated, irrelevant and costly.
The UGS can be used for commercial or security purposes:
Send commercial advertisements, announcements, free gift coupons, useful
information or welcome messages in specific places: shopping areas, banks,
restaurants, train or bus stations, exhibitions, shows, etc.
Send warning messages or requests to the people in the case of emergency.
Send messages with the request to contact police to potential crime
witnesses in the crime areas.
SMS messages can be sent:
To New in the Area or
To Known in the Area or
To pre-defined groups or
To everyone,
The UGS can be installed in a fixed location or carried to the places of
need in a small, hand carry suitcase.
Potential users of the system are small stores, large organizations,
advertisement providers, rescue services, police forces and others.
System can be operated locally or remotely via the Internet.
SMS sent by the system are free of charge; neither owner of the system nor
mobile phone users pay for them.
The system is comprised of compact Base Station Unit and notebook computer.
Because of unique sophisticated algorithm implemented in the system, the UGS
transmits very low power and does not interfere with existed GSM networks.
User can define any phone number or name of the sender, which will appear on
the screens of mobile phones.
Main specifications:
Frequency coverage: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
Number of SMS: No limitations
Number of handsets: No limitations
System output: From 10mW up to 10w (adjustable)
Power: 220V / 110V / 24V / 12-16V or Batteries
Operation Range: 10...1500 m
SMS language: All languages

Dear Osmocom Community,
[please respect the Reply-To and post all follow-up discussion to this
to openbsc(a)lists.osmocom.org, so we avoid having long threads
cross-posted to several mailing lists.]
>From 2012 to 2016 we were running a series of small, invitation-only
Osmocom Developer Conferences. Access was intentionally restricted
to those community members who have demonstrated an existing track
record of contribution to any of the projects under the Osmocom
umbrella.
This format of a small, tightly knit group of about 20 people has been
successful over the years, and I have received a lot of positive
feedback from past participants.
On the other hand, the Osmocom project has grown in scope and diversity,
and some of those projects don't have all that much relationship to each
other - except being started by people from within the same group.
There's the cellular communications (GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS and hopefully at
some point LTE) protocols which is attracting a lot of professional
users. And then there's pure community projects like rtl-sdr,
OsmocomBB, OsmocomGMR and many other efforts.
Particularly the cellular infrastructure projects (OsmoBTS, OsmoPCU,
OsmoBTS, OsmoNITB, OsmoSGSN, OpenGGSN, OsmoIuh & co) are somehow
"standing out" of the othe projects in the context of having a wider
user bsae, and in that user base also primarily commercial users.
So I'd like to start a discussion on how to possibly change the event
format to accomodate the various interests and parties. I definitely
don't want to loose the "annual meeting of old friends" atmosphere,
while at the same time also opening up to other interested parties.
One idea would be to keep OsmoDevCon as-is and have a separate event
where non-contributing/developing users / sysadmins / system integrators
could also be attending.
Another idea would be to split into a 'user day' and 'developer days'
format. This is something the netfilter developer workshops have been
using for many years, and from my limited insight quite successfully so.
The "user day" is more like a traditional tech conference, with a large
auditorium and talks oriented towards users / sysadmins / integrators of
the software. The "developer days" are the invitation-only part, for
known contributing developers only, similar to what we have at
OsmoDevCon.
Having both events (or both parts of an event) back-to-back has the
advantage that a large number of potential speakers for the 'user day'
are already present, and they don't have to travel yet another time.
One could even structure it further and say we have one user day, one
public 'Osmocom cellular developer day' and then the closed 'OsmoDevCon
classic', maybe reduced from 4 days to 3 or even 2 days only?
What is the general opinion about this?
Are there people lurking on this list who would be interested in
attending a public 'user day' or even 'developer day' about the Osmocom
cellular projects, with presentations and workshops around topics such
as running Osmocom based cellular networks?
In terms of when/where, I would suggest to keep the tradition of April
in Berlin/Germany. But I'm of course very happy if somebody wants to
host it some place else...
Regards, and looking forward to meeting you [again] in 2017,
Harald
