RE: Soft GSM client
Hello, I was wondering if there is a soft GSM client....the sort you could run like a sip client on your laptop to connect to the GSM/UMTS network just like UMA/GAN phones do via Up interface. Regards, Abdul Hakeem

What would be your RF interface in that case ? Maybe phone ?
GSM/UMTS phones with UMA client can use WiFi to communicate with the MSC/HLR elements in the network. The client just needs an IP connectivity to the GAN controller. So the requirement for the traditional gsm Um interface is void in this scenario.

Hi, I think we have various possibilities: - Andreas's linux call router supports using a osmocom phone as uplink to the real world... pretty cool stuff. - I have a test phone in progress that connects directly to a MSC that is capable of doing LU, placing calls (work in progress), e.g. with the HTML5 tags one could even do audio recording and playback... - We will have a way to directly connect OsmocomBB to OpenBSC this year.... removing the RF and BTS from the picture. holger
Holger, You hit the nail right on the head ! Is there any way you have this test phone available ? It's very frustrating doing anything useful with the UMA phones out there, this test phone you are working on is it software based or a modified hardware ?

It is software based, written in Smalltalk and runs as a webservice. You will need to have direct access to a MSC to make it useful. The code can be found here[1]. [1] http://cgit.osmocom.org/cgit/smalltalk
