| 2 | ============= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | OpenBSC is a minimalistic implementation of the GSM Network, with particular |
| 5 | emphasis on the functionality typically provided by the BSC, MSC, HLR, VLR. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Its only current interface is a mISDN based E1 interface utilizing the A-bis |
| 8 | protocol between BSC and BTS. In other words, you can connect an existing |
| 9 | GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS) through E1 to OpenBSC. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | So far, it has only been tested with the Siemens microBTS BS-11. Test reports |
| 12 | with other BTS are appreciated! |
| 13 | |
| 14 | This project is still in its early days, and there are lots of areas where it |
| 15 | doesn't behave as per GSM spec. |
