That is the same question I have been asking my self.
Hi,
as probably for most of us an official (testing) licence is out of reach, is there a "workaround" for this problem?
- Is there some part of the official gsm bands that overlaps with local ISM or other not-so-tightly-regulated frequencies?
(i.e, GSM1900 seems to have a small part that's not used by DECT...)
- Are there any "standard" gsm handsets that could be modified (preferably in software) to work at 2,4GHz?
- Is UMA/GAN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Access_Network) something that could be used with OpenBSC? As far as i understand the specification, UMA is GSM Layer 3 over an GPRS/IPSEC tunnel to the BSC, so all the GSM-Goodies should be there.
I realize the first two options would not exactly make it legal, but i'd prefer the wrath of my neighbors over the suicide-squad from a carrier or regulatory agency ;).
Any comments?
Regards,
Jay
