@ROllerozxa @weirdtreething OpenBTS is very outdated but it's more of a complete and integrated system rather than a complex modular one. You can just run OpenBTS with an SDR and connect it directly to an Asterisk PBX.

@hexaheximal @weirdtreething Hmm interesting, what is the difference between Osmocom and OpenBTS? I was looking at Osmocom and it seemed like the most current way of doing this.

@ROllerozxa OpenBTS is what you're looking for, although unfortunately it requires a very old version of Ubuntu to make it work. @weirdtreething figured it out a while back, although I don't know exactly how.

@ROllerozxa you can, and such projects exist (check out OpenBTS, srsRAN, etc).
You make a good point about the challenges of running it on-wire (conducted rather than radiated).
In terms of connecting an SDR directly to a phone, physically, it's very doable. Many older phones have a car-kit […]

통신망에 접속하는 방식이 TDMA-FDD로 동일하다면 일단 하나의 교환기를 응용할 수 있을텐데 그렇다면 LTE-FDD까지는 OpenBTS로 구현이 가능하지 않을까. 솔직히 3GPP가 GSM쪽 기술집단이니까 접속 호환성은 있을 것 같은데 여기 이산수학 전공하신 분?
