Alberto - "Good stuff!" One point, though: In release 2.5 and later, the SIP username needs to be prefixed with "IMSI", instead of just the 14/15 digit IMSI code. For example <user id="31041464646464646" cidr="192.168.46.15/24"> becomes <user id="IMSI31041464646464646" cidr="192.168.46.15/24"> And you might want to take a look at the 2.5 release to be sure that all of your patches carried through. ALSO... On a related note, we are thinking about organizing a workshop for OpenBTS developers and deployers, probably in Europe, probably in July. The idea would be to actually set up and run multiple BTS units, add features on the spot, modify configurations, provision handsets, connect real calls to real VoIP carriers, customize SIMs, play with iNum and ITAD, etc. We would need to do this in a rural area where we can run these networks in the open without contention from local cellular service, so if you are looking for an entertaining junket, fancy hotels, nightlife, etc., this is not it. Think "small-town rustic", probably on a farm somewhere. We are sensitive to the matter of expense and would do our best to limit costs, but we can still find recent lodging and have nice meals. Would there interest in this sort of thing? -- David On Dec 10, 2009, at 9:28 AM, Alberto Escudero wrote: > Hi, > > Currently OpenBTS also works with FreeSWITCH :) > http://www.mail-archive.com/fre...@li.../ > msg16824.html > > /aep > -- > Stopping junk mailers is good for the environment David A.

I'm very excited of such great posibility of face-to-face meeting and I will try hard to arrange to come there and will help it all I can. My opinion is that if we want to really lower costs for attendies, this workshop should be right after (or prior to) some big and well-known conference on SDR/GSM/Communications/FOSS, so people could attend both and save on airfare, visas (for foreigners) and just their time. re: place I wish I could welcome this event in my out-of-city house 100km from Moscow, but with pretty clear spectrum. But I fear that's not exactly what you mean by "Europe" and this contradicts with my own statement about a big conference nearby. :) -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris. |

In July, it's summer time. How about a offshore workshop on ship, On open sea all frequencies are free and most probably you don't need any legal paperwork as there is no regulation on international waters. Other option could be some deep shelter (cold war heritage). It should have infrastructure, and most probably you don't have any legal paperwork to do workshop underground. In any other case the best would be to find country with minimal paperwork and fastest legal response. Or maybe small and remote island, with nice weather, shiny beaches, somewhere in Mediterranean sea and no mobile coverage at all.

Ken - At this point the leading candidate location is a farm in Germany where there is no cellular coverage in either the 900 or 1800 band. It is about 1.5 hours from the Munich airport, but we hope to arrange a shuttle for attendees.

David, A happening for testing and exchanging ideas en experience sounds great. I'm not promising to come but I certainly Iwill give it my best effort to make it possible. It depends on where the event will take place and assuming that I finally get my usrp OpenBTS appliance up and running ;-) Nice point on the wish list: No GSM coverage!!
