Re: [Openbts-discuss] [Fwd: [FOSDEM] News : Call For Participation]
For info: Ok, I called the IBPT and I got the procedure to follow to request frequencies. The 900 MHz is entirely allocated to commercial operators but in the 1800 spectrum there are possibilities to get experimental licenses for a small fee so I'm filling up the paper work ASAP. For OpenBTS to work in the 1800 band we may need more stable clock source (which I don't have yet). For OpenBSC, I have a 1800 nanoBTS.

FOSDEM [1], the most developer-oriented Free and Opensource conference in Europe, is taking place in Brussels, Belgium [2] on *Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 February 2010*. Apart from having many invited speakers, the conference offers developer rooms, stands and lightning talks to projects from the Free and Opensource community. This results in a staggering number of 250+ lectures!
We hereby welcome proposals from speakers and projects to talk in a main track, man a stand, or hold a lightning talk. /Information on developer rooms will become available later, as we are slightly reworking the concept/.
In relation to that, I'm trying to get an experimental license from the IBPT to operate on the GSM spectrum during the conference. I didn't find much in the legislation about this kind of licence in Belgium, but I must call back the guy tomorrow ...
I didn't take any contact with the fosdem yet to have a spot or anything, I wanted to hear back from the ibpt first.
If other people are motivated, there is definitely something to do there. I have equipment to run both OpenBTS and OpenBSC and I'm located in Belgium, so I'll definitely be there.

You will most definitely need an improved clock to operate in the 1800 band. On Oct 13, 2009, at 4:57 AM, Sylvain Munaut wrote:

Sylvain -- try the FA-SY 1. It's cheap and fairly easy to install. (It's not something that you could calibrate and leave on a tower for any length of time though. It is strictly an "experimental" type clock.) Quoting David A. Burgess (dburgess@jcis.net):
