Can I use this to run my own mobile network? Is there something like a blank SIM card which I could use for it? I don't need global coverage but is it possible to create my own BTS on a PC (with some antenna connected to it) and then have my own SIM card which I can insert into regular phone/device and have it connected to my BTS and connect to the Internet?
<shill mode> you can run SRSRan on a small self contained SDR such as the Seeve board. Throughput is not going to be good as a custom stack as it's unoptimised, though.<p><a href="https://rfnm.com/blog/introducing-seeve" rel="nofollow">https://rfnm.com/blog/introducing-seeve</a>
Could anyone more knowledgeable on the topic explain to what extent common wireless connectivity standards are open and feasible to implement for, say, a medium sized company? Apple has been working on a 5G modem for what feels like a billion years, but other standards seem to be more democratized.
Can someone explain the use case for this project?<p>Is it intended for device vendors creating phones and tablets or for telecom companies building their own infrastructures?
They abandoning the UE development was a very sad moment.<p>Their code base is so much nicer than other projects, and somewhat easy to match with the standards. I am very happy user :)
O-Ran, the closed source that begins with O for open naturally, is really terrifying in terms of spying on users and sharing data.<p>My personal tinfoil hat says the corporations started the 5G cancer rumors themselves to distract the public from the real terror of 5G that is ORan data sharing.<p>The tl;dr is any participant in Oran can put software directly on the antena and access your data directly with no need for it to go through a 3rd party like your cell provider. The cell providers charge for access to the antenna. This sidestep any potentially conflict with selling your data - by choosing a 5g cell phone, you have already opted in to your data being accessed. Creepy.
