After rebuilding everything on a new server with Ubuntu 12.04 my UmTRX test setup now seems to be rock solid.

Great blog post! With only one exception - we implemented encryption in the open-source version of OpenBTS and we maintain it in a special branch. It has issues with some phones and thus we haven't merged it into Fairwaves master branch yet.
Please excuse typos. Written with a touchscreen keyboard.

Hi Alexander
Thanks for the info re: encryption. If my tests with an iPhone 5 are correct it would seem that GSM networks due to SIM overrides are still very insecure!

Alex, Anyone having issues with sendsms using cli commands? I have been sending test 1 to 10 and i only received 5 out of 10.
Also, it does not always send a welcome message to my phones when camping.
Tha ks.
Joel,
These questions are actually out of topic for this mailing list. I recommend you to report this to the OpenBTS mailing list and attach relevant logs.
But my comments are below anyway:

I haven't used this command extensively, but it shouldn't be much different from sending an SMS through smqueue.
Also, it does not always send a welcome message to my phones when camping.
It sends welcome message only to phones which a cell sees for the first time, i.e. the ones which are not present at the TMSI table. Try clearing TMSI table before your experiments.

Craig,
One more notice: MS RSSI Target should be higher than "noise" by a healthy number. I usually use something like 4-6dB margin. Look at the notices I wrote down here: https://code.google.com/p/umtrx/wiki/RunningOpenBTS#Tune_OpenBTS_for_specifi...
