Documentação - Fumaça Data Springs
That's a "How To build your own GSM" page for help autonomous communities to get, configure and use their own GSM network. It's based on Fumaça Data Springs project which is based on Rhizomatica experience (just a way to do it).

BTS
La estación base transceptora está encargada únicamente de realizar y mantener la comunicación de radio con los móviles a través de la interfaz Um. Para ello utiliza dos radios, una para recibir y otra para enviar. La base del hardware en sí es simplemente de una a tres placas base conectadas por ethernet entre ellas que contienen dos radios emitiendo cada una de ellas en una frecuencia diferentes.
Nuran Litecell BTS
Comes with
- GPS antenna
- Power supply
Components (inside a IP66 box):
- 2 SDRs

Uses Nuran's proprietary software (we opted not to install OpenBTS following Rhizomaticas's advice)
You need:
- 2 antennas with N connector (if you have not an 850-900 antenna you can use 2,4GHz (WiFi) antennas.
Turning on the station
Once we got two antenas installed at the BTS we turn it on and this numbers appears: 90770 / 00174
