Alexander is visiting Boston after the Open Hardware Summit last week in NYC. We powered up the umTRXv2 for the first time yesterday afternoon and immediately captured a GSM signal on the Signal Hound after launching OpenBTS. Echo Test with the test handset worked like a charm. Congratulations to the Fairwaves team!

Robin,
I've been at a couple of " Commodities Houses " here in Chicago explaining to them both about me efforts in creating a Commodity Exchange, as well as the technology I shall be putting into place. Namely, the UmTRX will be the communications systems I utilize :)
Eagerly awaiting!
Sincerely,
Martin

Martin,
If you speak about US, then I doubt this is hardly possible to deploy OpenBTS/UmTRX in an easy fashion because of the spectrum regulation. All GSM spectrum belongs to big carriers and they won't allow you to use it. The only way to go I'm aware of is to setup an MVNO with one of the carriers, but this is extremely hard to negotiate and requires a good pile of money.

Robin,
Thank you for posting the news! :)
I've pushed the compiled FPGA bitsream which we used for the testing at the usual place: http://people.osmocom.org/ipse/umtrx-v2/fpga_bitsream/
