OsmoBSC¶

OsmoBSC is an implementation of a GSM BSC (Base Station Controller), i.e. it offers

• an A-bis interface towards the BTSs
• an A-over-IP (AoIP) interface towards an MSC (e.g. OsmoMSC).

History / Naming / SCCPlite¶

Until 2017, we used to have an osmo-bsc part of the old openbsc.git repository which implemented a smaller sub-set of the BSC functionality with an SCCPLite based A interface. This legacy program is now called osmo-bsc-sccplite and continues to be available for legacy users. However, it is not actively developed anymore.

Binary Packages¶

Osmocom provides binary packages for several flavors of Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux on a variety of architectures (i586, x86_64, armhf, armv7l). Unless you are a software developer interested in developing on Osmocom, it is recommended you use those packages instead of building from source.
