What needs to be done:
- BTS physical installation, patching + PoE This is typically done on dec 24 or 25, depends a bit when roh is doing the patching and when the house technicians lift up the big cross beam in the main hall
- configuring osmo-nitb + LCR to connect with the POC, do some testing This again involves getting some physical E1 line from/to the PoC patched, and when the POC is available for configuring their side of the link
I could arrive around 10 am on the 25th and help with that. If that's not needed, I'd arrive on the 26th.
- programming of SIM cards we have some 100 to 150 left-over 16in1 sim cards from the camp, but sysmocom will soon receive 1000 sysmoSIM' cards. Those cards store only one IMSI (not 16), but are otherwise much more flexible in terms of programming. You can create any file (DF/EF) and put any content inside, even files not specified in TS 11.11. The cards will need to be programmed (simple, quick). sysmocom will take care they are of that.
You mean they will already be programmed? Otherwise I'd have no problem with handling that like at the Camp.
selling of SIM cards In the past, this has been done by the POC. However, there has been some discontempt with the fact that they get all the user questions and cannot do anything regarding GSM, and also they never got any share of the money (not that we made huge profits on it anyway).
So I'd suggest to involve the POC more in the network, give them telnet access to the BSC so they can try to anlyze problems themselves, and maybe see if (at least in the beginning) one of the OpenBSC project members could spend some time at the POC desk to help with SIM card sales and user questions
At least for some shifts I'd be willing to handle this.
- putting together a publik wiki page (mostly copy+paste from last year)
I've adjusted the page from last year and stored it in the OpenBSC wiki as the Congress wiki is not open yet. http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/FieldTests/28c3/CongressWiki
