Its currently supported interfaces towards the BTS are:

* OsmoBSC - a pure GSM BSC, speaking Abis/IP to the BTS and A/IP to the MSC
|

|
* OsmoBSC-MGCP - MGCP helper to the OsmoBSC software
|

|
* OsmoNITB - a BTS+MSC+VLR+HLR+SMSC "Network in the box".
|
||||||
|
* OsmoSGSN - a GPRS SGSN with Gb interface over IP towards the PCU
|
||||||
|
* Osmo-GbProxy - a Proxy to aggregate many Gb links as one Gb link to the SGSN
|
||||||
|
* OsmoBSCNAT - a gateay aggregating many A links as one A link to the MSC
|
||||||
|
* OsmoGTPHUB - a hub aggregating many GTP links (between SGSN and GGSN)
|
||||||
|
* ipaccess-utils - some tools to discover + configure ip.access nanoBTS
|

* bs11_config - a tool to configure the Siemens BS-11 microBTS

in turn supports various transceiver hardware, including the sysmoBTS

product family, as well as SDR transceivers supported by OsmoTRX, such as

the UmTRX or USRP boardss.

This project is still in its early days, and there are lots of areas where it
|
|
||||||
doesn't behave as per GSM spec.

|

Please note that as of March 2010, OpenBSC has a dependency to a library
|
|
||||||
called "libosmocore". You can obtain that library from
|
|
