Announcing project OsmocomBB: Open Source GSM Stack
[Development] Posted Feb 19, 2010 20:54 UTC (Fri) by ris
Harald Welte has announced project OsmocomBB, a project aimed at creating a
Free Software GSM baseband firmware. "GSM has been deployed first 19
years ago. Despite billions of phones deployed world wide, all of them run
a proprietary baseband firmware, consisting of proprietary drivers, RTOS
and GSM protocol stack. OsmocomBB has set out to change this. We do not
want our phones to be a black box connected 24/7 to a public network. We
want to decide what kind of data our phone reveals about us or not.
"
