= Welcome to BS11-Abis / OpenBSC =

This is a project aiming to create a Free Software, GPL-licensed Abis (plus BSC/MSC/HLR) implementation for experimentation and research purpose.

Right now we are targeting the '''Siemens BS11 microBTS''' and '''ip.access nanoBTS''' GSM base transceiver station, but we are planning to support different [wiki:BTS] equipment in the future.
