Hello all,

I’m new to the list, and new to GSM testing, although I’ve worked with a fair share of RF, Linux, and networks. I recently acquired an Ericsson RBS 2401 for testing. This is a 2 TRX BTS with a T1 interface. It works on the GSM 1900 band, and puts out 300mw at full power. There will be another post about getting started with that...

Onto the main purpose of this post….I have a contact who has 5 Ericsson RBS 2308’s, which are the same as the unit Harald recently purchased. They are probably a bit bigger than the BS-11, have 4 TRX, output about 2.5 watts, have a T1 interface, and support EDGE. They are banded for GSM 1900. They can be bought for a reasonable price, plus shipping from California. Obviously OpenBSC doesn’t support these at the moment, but hopefully support will be added sometime in the future. These would be a great resource for anyone in the US wanting to do testing, or overseas testers, if you’re willing to pay shipping. If you want more info on the unit itself, you can download the manual Harald posted to the list earlier this month. If anyone is interested, please contact me off list, and I will get you in contact with the seller.  

Thanks

Caleb
