SIMtrace 2: Video Recording of SIMtrace2 tutorial available

Added by laforge over 1 year ago

Some weeks ago, there was an OsmoDevCall presenting a SIMtrace2 Tutorial.

The video recording of this has now been edited and subsequently has been published at https://media.ccc.de/v/osmodevcall-20221019-laforge-simtrace2-tutorial

Cellular Network Infrastructure: Osmocom to receive funding from OpenTechFund

Added by laforge over 1 year ago

We're happy to announce that sysmocom has achieved to obtain funding from Open Technology Fund for a variety of enhancements and improvemnts of the Open Source Cellular Network Infrastructure sphere.

The funded activities are in the following areas:

  • Better integration between the Osmocom 2G/3G core network elements and the open5gs 4G EPC (evolved packet core)
  • Improving the stability, quality and maturity of the open5gs EPC by implementing functional test suites in TTCN-3
  • Establishing interoperability with various base station hardware
  • Support three trial deployments in rural Mexico with our partner Rhizomatica
  • Organize a series of webinars for security researchers on how to use our tools for furthering their research projects

See also the project description at the OpenTechFund website

We'd like to thank OTF awarding funding to our proposal.

We'd also like to thank Rhizomatica and specifically Peter Bloom for all his help in putting together the proposal.

OsmoCBC: osmo-cbc 0.4.0 released, now with 4G (SBcAP) support

Added by laforge over 1 year ago

We're happy to announce release 0.4.0 of OsmoCBC, the Open Source Cell Broadcast Centre.

The major news for this release (aside from the usual series of bugfixes) is the support of LTE/4G via the so-called 3GPP SBcAP interface. This means that emergency messages can now not only sent to a 2G/GSM cellular network, but also to a 4G/LTE network. The support of 3GPP standardized SBcAP ensures interoperability with a variety of different EPC/MME.

Development of this 4G capability was made possibly by a generous grant of the NLnet foundation

Pre-compiled packages for a variety of GNU/Linux distributions are available as usual via our Latest_Builds

For a full changelog, please see https://gitea.osmocom.org/cellular-infrastructure/osmo-cbc/commit/d5c0b73f00a415d7e95176f6bbf6b043e06b24d8
