Abstract
The relevance of communication in our world today cannot be overemphasized. This project is thus aimed at designing and implementing a GSM Network using OpenBTS software paired with an SDR (Software-defined
Radio), imitating the GSM Network as we know it. This setup can be used in small-scale operations and can solve the major issue of connectivity in rural areas such as villages and small towns. This arrangement involved a USRP B210 and OpenBTS software running on the Ubuntu 24.04 the latest version of the operating system - as of the time of writing. At the end, the network was launched, subscribers were registered on the test network, and they were able to send messages, which is a supported feature on the GSM Network.
