Welcome to BS11-Abis

This is a project aiming to create a Free Software, GPL-licensed Abis (plus BSC/MSC/HLR) implementation for experimentation and research purpose.

Right now we are targeting the Siemens BS11 microBTS and ip.access nanoGSM GSM base transceiver station, but we are planning to support different BTS equipment in the future.

• OpenBSC -- The Free Software implementaiton of a BTS (plus MSC, HLR)
  • BscHack -- The actual BSC program
  • bs11_config -- A small tool for configuring the BS-11 using RS232
  • ipaccess-find -- A small tool to find nanoBTS in your network
  • ipaccess-config? -- A small tool to set NVRAM configuration of the nanoBTS
• BS11 -- The Siemens microBTS
  • BS11_Sales -- If you want to buy a BS-11.
  • BS11_Package_List -- Make sure everything is in the package
  • BS11_Configuration -- How to use / setup the hardware
  • BS11_LMT -- The local maintenance Terminal
  • BS11_Getting_Started -- Getting started with your BS-11
  • BS11_Troubleshooting -- When something doesn't work
• nanoBTS -- the ip.access nanoBTS
  • nanoBTS_Internals -- Details like PCB photographs and debug port
• HFC-E1 Evaluation Board -- The E1 card we use for our software
• GSMStandards -- The specifications for GSM
• mISDN -- The Linux ISDN stack
• LegalNotes -- Important Legal notes on operating GSM base stations
• HandsetBugs -- Things we have observed during development
• GSM_Security -- The GSM security issues that we find
