Ralph A. Schmid, dk5ras ralph at schmid.xxxOne question.how do you want to attract those mobiles? Usually high traffic locations offer high field strength of all providers, and no mobile phone has the need to search for a different network, unless it is already roaming and suddenly sees its home network. Ralph. From: openbsc-bounces at lists.osmocom.org [mailto:openbsc-bounces at lists.osmocom.org] On Behalf Of Sahil Gupta Sent: Friday, March 28, 2014 10:41 AM To: openbsc at lists.osmocom.org Subject: Fwd: OpenBSC and Roaming Hi there, I'm fairly new to the mobile world and am still coming to terms with a whole new world of terminologies. The project is to test out a theory in my lab before wanting to scale this at a larger level for commercial purposes. The intent is to be able to have roaming available with a roaming aggregator in the United States with a small-scale mobile network enabled using OpenSource software. We are probably looking at implementing no more than 15 BTS's nationwide to attract roaming customers at high traffic locations. Our roaming aggregator would like us to send them MAP SS7 Messages from our MSC. My understanding of the requirements so far are: 1 x BTS (this could be a PC with some radio cards or something like a nanoBTS) 1 x MSC/BSC/VLR We won't be issuing any sim cards on our own network in the long run and hence I don't see the point in us having a unique HLR. Are there any gurus here that would be willing to share their intelligence? -- Thanks, Sahil -- Thanks, Sahil -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
