Smart-Grid solutions and sustainable software

,----[ Quote ]
| Smart grids use digital technology to save energy, reduce cost and increase 
| reliability and transparency. Software is a critical component to successful 
| Smart-Grid operations. Software standards, security and Open Source/Open 
| Access methodologies have been gaining traction as the solution to Smart-Grid 
| software applications: they are sustainable, cost effective and 
| collaborative.

OpenBSC powered GSM network live at HAR2009

,----[ Quote ]
| Under license of the Dutch regulatory authority, we operate two BTS with two
| TRX each, forming the network 204-42. The BTS are positioned on the top of a
| hill, with the antennas mounted back to back on a tree, each covering about
| half of the HAR2009 camp site. Every transceiver runs at 100mW transmit
| power, which is the maximum output as per our license.
|
| From that tree, we run AC power and a single E1 line down to the GSM tent,
| where it runs into the Linux PC that runs our OpenBSC software.
