Running a GSM BTS at fosdem ?
by Sylvain Munaut 12 Jan '11

Hi, Back in november/december, I made a request to the IBPT for a special temporary GSM licence. I was originally planning to use it in a talk on GSM but my proposal wasn't selected. Since the authorization has now been granted (and paid for), it'd be a waste not to use it The idea would just to have a single BTS running a small demo network with just A4 sheets around pointing to a website for more infos, no stand or anything. Can this be arranged on short notice ? Who should I talk to for details ? Cheers, Sylvain

Hotels are also available, they cost around 20€ per night for a nice one. First come first serve, we will have to collect money in advance to pay for the bus. Also people are welcome to get on at any part of the trip, but we need to cover the total costs, so we could look for people to travel the first part of the trip to reduce costs.
