[Freeswitch-users] openbts

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

It is almost certainly trivial to avoid licencing issues through the use 
of sockets. The overhead for socket communication would be no real issue 
in this case, as the processing for the GSM stack will be so heavy, you 
won't really notice the difference using sockets.

The openbts site makes light of the GSM protocols. It has taken huge 
efforts over long periods for each GSM stack supplier to shake out their 
wares. That has typically involved extented evaluations of why certain 
specific spots on a network cause call drops (e.g. 50% of calls in cars 
emerging from this particular tunnel drop as they emerge). Achieving a 
usable stack is not for the faint hearted.

Regards,
Steve
