sysmoNITB Starter Kit

Up and running in minutes

The sysmoNITB Starter Kit enables you to get quickly started and run a completely autonomous network without the need for any other components. All you need to do in order to make calls, send SMS between your phones and use mobile data in this private mobile network is to

• unpack the starter kit

• unpack the base station(s)

• install Antennas and power supply for the base station(s)

• connect the sysmoNITB with the base station(s) and (if desired) the internet gateway

• insert the SIM cards into the cellphones or modems

• use the network

• perform protocol traces of any RAN/CN interface in the network

The sysmoNITB Starter Kit includes

• One sysmoNITB

• One international power supply (110 to 240 V AC, 50/60Hz, EU/US/UK plug)

• 20 pre-provisioned SIM cards

• Fully installed + configured software image with Osmocom Software and (if 4G Option is selected) Open5gs

• Customer-specific factory configuration of network specific and SIM card specific parameters.

• 4 hours of remote support by sysmocom staff (e-mail based, remote login/configure)

Select your basestations

Depending on the mobile network generation you want to support, you can combine the sysmoNITB Starter Kit with one of each following base stations

• 2G BTS: sysmoBTS 1002

• 3.5G hNodeB: ip.access nano3G

• 4G eNodeB: Ericsson RBS 6402

After ordering you will receive a questionnaire where you can change several parameters. This questionnaire will be used by our engineering team to configure the sysmoNITB, the base stations and the SIM cards to provide a ready-to-run pre-configured system.

Continuous updates

Customers of the sysmoNITB get access to the Osmocom Software latest builds. At your choice, you can install those future Updates to your sysmoNITB.

Ordering information

When ordering please refer to the exact order code to avoid misunderstandings.

Preconfiguration

The sysmoNITB Starter Kit will be pre-configured to your needs, if you like, with settings like:

• SIM Card Data (MNC, MCC)

• MSISDN

• RF settings

• Network Names

Please fill out and return the sysmoNITB Starter Kit questionnaire: https://sysmocom.de/downloads/sysmoNITB_starter_kit_questionnaire.ods

If you do not send us the questionnaire after ordering, we will assume the default settings.

Limitations

There are some limitations in terms of supported features – it could happen, that these issues will be addressed in future versions of osmocom/ Open5GS:

• No Support for NB-IoT / LTE-M

• No active handover for data between networks (limited support for CCO/NACC and keeping PDP context on network change is expected 2Q/2024)

• No inter-RAT voice calls or handover (they work within a given RAT).

• No 4G voice support (VoLTE)

• CSFB from 4G to 2G/3G does not work due to limitations with Ericsson RBS 6402
