Thats so cool! Did you manage to fix the esim activation issue?
Wow, this was really interesting. I've wanted to play around with cellular networks for quite some time, but never got the chance. I have some questions:
– How does licensing these networks work? I presume that running a private network on normal cellular bands is not legal without a license from the FTC? I assume most people are just going to run any test networks without a license and hope they don't get in trouble?
– It is impossible to connect consumer equipment with GSMA eUICC/eSIM, right? (Such as US-model iPhones with no physical SIM slot)
You had me till vim showed up lol.
Same situation here; network engineer with an interest in Telco engineering. Excellent content and incredibly interesting!
Can you also sent Cell Broadcast messages?
out of curiosity (again), do you get data connectivity and what kind of speeds is the B210 pushing?
actually I have a thought of setting up a 2g network that is still in my todo list but 4g/5g definitely seems interesting 😀
Hacking the algorithm in LAN Ranger's favor with this comment.
Can’t wait for docciss and bgp! Subscribed and impatiently waiting!
