Ask HN: What are the open source telecom projects to contribute?

7 pointskshk1234 comments

I have 12+ years experience as a professional working for different telecom software companies. I would now like to contribute to some open source telecom projects in the areas like NFV, LTE, 5G, IoT etc. Can anybody please tell me what would be the best projects to get involved with?

Have you seen - http://osmocom.org

I had followed the OpenGGSN project for a while, which is now under this umbrella of open source telco projects.

Some cool things there, I've used a few for some basic testing however I'm not sure if anyone is actually using them in any kind of production network.

From my previous experience most seemed to work, but did miss some fairly basic/standard features if you were comparing to an off the shelf box.

Thank you very much.

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for, but there is at least one open-source GSM base station (http://openbts.org/).

Thanks for your reply. I am looking to contribute for an open source project which is working in the telecom domain.
