DIY 2G GSM Base Station Now Possible with Open-Source Components
A DIY 2G GSM cellular base station project is now feasible with the right components. This project, detailed in an anonymous video series, allows old phones to make calls and send texts on a personal network. It also offers slow internet access via a miniPC.
The key component is the Nuand BladeRF x40, a pricey but open-source Software Defined Radio. Alongside a half-decent PC with USB-3.0, YateBTS software, and a SIM card reader, this project management doesn't require soldering or a reflow oven for BGA, unlike many of dosdude1's hacks.
The network can also provide slow internet access through the miniPC's connection, making it a versatile DIY base station solution for remote or off-grid locations.
Building a personal 2G GSM mobile base station project is now achievable with the right tools and components. This project offers an interesting alternative for those seeking to create a private, low-cost mobile network.
