I think getting GSM-R BTS equipment is more difficult than regular GSM BTS equipment. If you want to play with GSM-R from the network side, your best option might be to implement the NCH and ASCI support inside OpenBTS. >From the telephone side, you can simply use OsmocomBB. It can use a standard GSM handset like the Motorola C123 and talk to GSM-R BTSs. Of course you still need to implement the GSM-R specific features on layer 3 like ASCI. In both cases I think the hardware is there for whoever has a serious interest in experimenting with this technology, and who is not afraid to implement the GSM-R specific bits. -- - Harald Welte <lafo...@gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
