* Package name : openbsc Version : 0.15.0 Upstream Author : Osmocom * URL : http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC * License : AGPL-3 Programming Lang: C Description : GSM Base Station Controller (BSC) and minimalistic GSM network implementation It started as a BSC (Base Station Controller) side implementation of the A-bis protocol, as implemented in the GSM Technical Specification 08.5x and 12.21. It can run either - as a classic BSC, exposing an A interface towards an external MSC, or - as NITB (Network In The Box), whert implements a minimal subset of the BSC, MSC. SMSC? and HLR. The goal of the project is to - provide a basis for experimentation and security research with GSM from the network side - provide a zero-cost alternative for hands-on experience with GSM systems in education and training - learn more about GSM networks on a lower level, particularly the practical aspects with real-world equipment - provide a stable/reliable network-side GSM implementation for small networks that don't need millions of subscribers or 99.99999% availability I plan to maintain it as part of the Debian Science team together with libosmocore and related packages.
