Hi all,
It would be great to hear from people using OpenBTS/OsmoBTS/OpenBSC and learn what do you use it for.
From my side - I'll bring UmTRX or two and could answer all question about it and demonstrate it operating OpenBTS and OsmoBTS. I could talk about our open-source development of OpenBTS, if there would be any interest.
Also I'd love to talk about OsmoBTS/OpenBSC which the new cool. Only few people heard about OsmoBTS, while it provides great capabilities:
- it works with off-the-shelf SDR transceivers like UmTRX
- it could use VoIP (SIP) soft-switches to connect calls
- it connects to MSCs of legacy GSM networks
- it supports encryption, handover, FR/HR/AMR codecs and GPRS (in beta)
- standards compliant L1/L2 layers, so there are no issues with
various phone models
I love Osmocom approach to development as well - development is open to all contributors, the code is well structured and tested, even build results for all sub-projects are available through a continuous integration suite: http://jenkins.osmocom.org/jenkins/
