I am using it personally. I am in the first step setting
up The system with Ubuntu 12.04 Server. I tried with CentOS. I work
ussually with this distro, but i could not make it work because of my lack of
understaning this gsmopen system.
Yesterday i made it work with this:
Ubuntu 12.04 Server AMD64
Huawey E169
Install all the Libs i found in the freeswitch wiki
(all)
I set up for the time been just only one dongle. ttyUSB1,
ttyUSB2
Codec: G711
I made this dialplan:
<extension name="dongle">
<condition
field="network_addr" expression="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"/>
<condition
field="destination_number" expression="^34(\d+)$"> /* Because Spain Mobile
*/
<action application="set"
data="continue_on_fail=yes"/>
<action
application="set" data="hangup_after_bridge=true"/>
<action application="set"
data="sip_ignore_remote_cause=true"/>
<action application="set"
data="proxy_media=true"/>
<action application="bridge" data="gsmopen/gsm01/$1"/> /* Default config i have, changing
just only tty ports */
<action application="hangup"
data="NORMAL_CIRCUIT_CONGESTION"/>
</condition>
</extension>
My Experience:
Calling with G711: no delay, audio quality same like with
your own mobile (perfect), even with network operator low coverage were i
am.
Calling with G729: little delay (sensible). Probably i had
the system not very well implemented.
A very important thing we did:
We try unlocking the dongle. We did it. With every system
we test, no working. We soldered pinouts to a unlocking device. Reinstall
complete firmware with this device. Then from this factory firmware we unlock it
and activate the voice.
I am experiencing with it. In my opinion for the time been
works very nice. I need to stress the system with 8 dongles and live traffic to
check all the issues that can happend.
During this week i will do so many test. i will give you
feed back.
Cheers

Hi,
I was wondering if I could ask you some dongle
questions. I've been
testing out Gsmopen with an E160.
Do you have any experience with
that one and
why do you prefer E169s?
I personally have not. They were,
however, recommended to me by a friend who has experience with Huawei-brand
dongles.
I'm in NYC. I might be
interested in a group
buy, but I'm still trying to figure out if it's
going to
reliable for clients.
I currently cannot verify anything about the Huawei devices. The
group buy actually fell through, and I was planning on getting one or two to
play with. If others are interested in doing a group buy I'd be more than happy
to facilitate.
In your setup, what is your general
purpose for having them in production? I planned on using a few for emergency
backup in case the Internet or something else went kaput. With the advent of
cell phones these days, it's really not an issue now. Otherwise, to me it's a
toy. Now if you we're in Europe, there are advantages to using gsmopen and a
dongle with a few different mobile providers to get free or reduced rate calling
(within the same network).
Good luck in your future endeavors, and welcome to the wonderful world of
Freeswitch.

I'm waiting on an antenna at the

suspect that's my current
problem.
Thanks in
