While I'm here looking at the mailing list, I have been thinking about
asking about the following, and no need to delay it, I suppose -
Upcoming OsmoDevCon attendees may have noticed the proposed and
scheduled session on CSFB testing.
Well, since - and sort of because that session was accepted, (and also
an iPhone 6 that supports the band of an eNB I have at home dropped into
my possession) - I've been prompted to advance my knowledge and
understanding of issues, and the iPhone (6 at least) is now doing MO
CSFB perfectly, and I think I see what some other observed issues are about.
I'm still happy if there's interest to do the session of course,
although maybe some might question whether it is more productive to just
file tickets/issues and work them out the usual way.
This email is not to suggest in any way to cancel the session, but
rather to ask if maybe we might expand the scope.
I'm thinking for example also testing 2G data. The older basic 2G + GPRS
"chocolate bar" type phones I have don't work anymore, they used to.
(not sure what one might actually do with such a device and GPRS these
days, but that's not the point, right?)
Someone (vadim?) brought a 2G (was it a credit card?) terminal once to
devcon. Does it work? that kind of thing. So thinking about all this,
I'm asking the question of whether there is interest to have a kind of
events style setup during the conference. lynxis I think has a server
for that, or maybe it's only a VM?
I don't mean a distracting always-on setup, and I don't mean to put
emphasis on cellular projects. But if we did want to have something
multi RAT, available for anybody who might want to glance in that
direction (during a USSE for example), then some (small) amount of
logistics preparation is necessary, no?
Thanks.
