Hello everybody,
My name is Niko, and it's my first post on mailing list. Is it possible to use OpenBSC together with Huawei BBU3900, or Ericsson RBS6601?
Thanks in advice Niko

In general, it is possible. However, each BTS vendor has its own protocol dialect, and within that dialect, every firmware generation and/or BTS model might need some extra tweaking.
Osmocom is an open source project that lives off contribution. If you have protocol traces of the Abis interface of some BTS models when they speak to their normal BSC, then this is a very good basis for re-implemeneting that protocol from OpenBSC (or rather, OsmoBSC these days).
I am not aware of anyone having worked on/with Huawei Abis so far, so that would be completely new if you'd like to work on that.
For Ericsson, we do have OM2000 support, which is the Ericsson OML protocol. So far, we only have tested this with somem members of the RBS2000 family, and not with RBS6000. But we're very hapy for any help in development and testing.
