Communication System Design of Remote Areas using Openbts

OpenBTS is a software-based GSM BTS, which allows GSM cell phone users to make phone calls or send SMS (short messages), without using a commercial service provider network. OpenBTS is known as the first open source implementation of the GSM industry standard protocol. The OpenBTS network is a network that is easy to implement and also inexpensive in maintenance and installation. Communication using a cell phone is not only needed in urban areas but remote areas currently require. But the problem is that not all remote areas get services from commercial cellular operators. By implementing mobile phone communication using OpenBTS, remote communication is very likely to be implemented. In this research communication design was delivered using GSM mobile phones using OpenBTS with telephone and SMS services.
