We do have a limited number of BS-11 BTS in stock and they're up for sale.

Please note: This is just a BTS. You will have to have BSC,MSC and other parts of the GSM network to make use of the BTS. Even with the OpenBSC software, you still have to fulfill the following requirements:

Requirements

Don't buy a BS-11, unless you are prepared to:

• buy a mISDN-supported E1 card (about 300 / 350 EUR)
• solder some cables by yourself (plugs are included)
• put together the power cord (plug included)
• compile a patched Linux kernel
• compile the OpenBSC software
• manually set parameters in hlr.sqlite3 using hand-crafted SQL statements
• expect things to be unreliable
• be happy to get only community-based support on the mailing list
• contribute to GSM layer2/3 protocol development in OpenBSC

Specification

The BS-11 we sell are

• single-TRX (i.e. max. 7 concurrent full-rate voice calls)
• GSM900 frequency band
• 230V Power Supply

Warranty

The BS-11 are originally packaged and to the best of our knowledge unused. However, sold as second-hand equipment with no warranty except a DoA guarantee. Be aware that they were built more than 10 years ago and are long end-of-life, so no spare parts, no manufacturer support, no repairs.

Pricing

We sell BS-11 for EUR 300 (including VAT, excluding shipping)

Shipping

The shipping will likely be expensive, given the high weight and large dimensions of the unit.

Any BS-11 is packaged in two boxes, which are of the following dimensions:

• Box 1: 74x58x35cm, 10kg
• Box 2: 74x58x35cm, 48kg

If you want to inquire for shipping rates, they will ship from Berlin, Germany (postal code 13509)
