Hi Holger,

Many thanks for your reply.

Im trying to implement a scalable nanoGSM platform which i can have 100s of
nano.BTSs connecting to multiple OpenBSCs/NITBs. This is where i was trying
below two options.

1. To get the calls routed in/out from and to NITB
2. Unbundle HLR DB to a central mysql db so all NITBs can talk to that
common HLR and possibly a basic central GMSC (sip/mgcp only) can lookup the
HLR and route calls to them accordingly.

But so far i have failed to get this no.1 done using LCR/asterisk option.
So pretty much given up with that.

Thats why trying alternatives now.

Coming back to MGCP, is this mainly to be used in BSC only mode where MSC
server will have SCCP/A with BSC and use MGCP for media ?

Or can a NITB act as a MGCP GW while NITB does full msc/hlr/vlr functions
and use MGCP to send and receive calls to a MGCP_CA ?

Many thanks for all your help. Its a great fantastic job OpenBSC team has
done so far.

Rgds
Nik
