At the [http://events.ccc.de/camp/2011/ CCC Camp 2011], we will again be running an experimental OpenBSC network.

The large area of the camp site and the number of users (expected in the 2,000 to 4,000 user range) make this an
6
ideal test installation for OpenBSC.

== Netork structure ==

Given that there is only a maximum number of 10 ARFCN in the DECT guard band that we could use,
11
we cannot really afford to run many small BTSs.  May small BTSs (single-arfcn) would mean that the capacity
12
is split/fragmented over the camp site.
13
14
Running few but large BTSs (many TRX) at higher power seems like the better strategy.  It delivers
15
capacity without restricting it locally, i.e. capacity can be used anywhere on the camp.

We will most likely have Motorola Horizon I BTS in GSM 1800, though this is not certain yet
