How to shrink a basestation into a Raspberry Pi

[@shodanxx]

So why are there no public bands that common cell phones can use ? It seems if the public could install their own small scale cell infrastructure it would put pressure on the large cell provider to lower their price of improve their service. It would also allow poor people access to basic wireless communication as well as allow the setup of very short range in-home basestation for relaying call to your cell from the ip phone network.

imagine an open source, scalable mesh celullar network, free!

Can you install openbts on raspberry pi ?

I've been wanting to do this for a while. I'd like see the python code you used to assign numbers... I'm also wondering if you know how to connect this mobile-phone network to the internet, or if this network can even handle http traffic?

First you need a few extras (goes on to list an entire base station worth of extras)

I've tried, and the performance was good, not too bad

Hi, I'm trying to set this up as my next project. Is there a tutorial or documentation you could share?
