Re: [Freeswitch-users] mod_gsmopen: are USB dongles the only option?
Ciao Stanislav, the whole idea of gsmopen is to use cheap and ready available radio interfaces, that maybe you can get off ebay or surplus. Also, they are undistinguishable from "normally used" dongles, and that is a plus in a lot of countries. I don't know about pci modems that exposes an audio interface to the operating system. Some soldering and demuxing will be probably needed. But at that point, I would go with Samgoma or Khomp cards... Also because for doing it well, a lot of engineering details are involved, from shielding to low pass filtering, to magnetic interferences, etc Anyway, I like those things too! :) -giovanni sent from mobile cell: +39 347 266 56 18 Giovanni Maruzzelli OpenTelecom.IT Il 05/Giu/2016 16:06, "Stanislav Sinyagin" <ssinyagin@gmail.com> ha scritto: does anyone know a GSM/UMTS/LTE modem that has mini-PCIe interface and is able to deliver voice signal that can be passed to mod_gsmopen?

those mPCIe 3G modems that I tried, are all visible as USB devices, with serial (ttyUSB) and (when supported) Ethernet devices associated with them. So, in theory, the audio signal would also be available in the same way as with the USB dongle... but so far, I haven't seen such a device yet.

no, it's the physical capability of particular modem. Some of them don;t have voice call capability at all. Some of them do have, and the call is sent to the pins which are not wired on your PCB :) On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 2:56 PM, Steven Ayre <steveayre@gmail.com> wrote:

Huawei MU609 with miniPCIe: https://kamami.pl/moduly-gsmgprs/559505-huawei-mu609-modul-hspaumtsgsm-ze-zl... cheers, Piotr
yes, I know it exists. Also there's a detailed documentation available at Huawei website, and it tells the pins where PCM audio is transported. Those pins are "reserved" in mini-PCIE standard, so your PCB will not have them wired. On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 10:48 PM, Piotr Gregor <piotrek.gregor@gmail.com> wrote:
