OpenBTS UMTS Bagian 1

Pagi ini jadwal saya ke Universitas Gunadarma untuk melanjutkan riset ngoprek OpenBTS, kali ini kami berniat mencoba OpenBTS-UMTS.

Ya, 3G dengan OpenBTS. 3G dengan perangkat Ettus N210 yang sebelumnya telah dibuatkan artikelnya beberapa waktu lalu, OpenBTS 5.0.

Keseluruhan riset ngoprek dibagi dalam 2 artikel atau 2 bagian:

  • Bagian 1 mengenai instalasi aplikasi OpenBTS-UMTS dan inisiasi hardware
  • Bagian 2 nanti fokus pada konfigurasi lanjutan dan ujicoba di lapangan

Artikel bagian 1 ini terdiri dari 4 sub-judul:

  1. Persiapan Software
  2. Persiapan Hardware
  3. Instalasi OpenBTS-UMTS
  4. Konfigurasi Dasar

Harap dicatat bahwa ujicoba belum benar-benar dilakukan pada bagian 1 ini. Saya tidak tahu apakah nanti 3G benar-benar dapat digunakan atau tidak. Atau kesulitan-kesulitan apa yang mungkin akan ditemui saat ujicoba.

Bagian 2 direncanakan untuk di-publish minggu depan.

Mari kita mulai bagian 1.

Setting Up STUN/TURN Server on meetme.id

This article is about how I setup a STUN/TURN service server on my domain meetme.id, so I do not forget how to do it again later 🙂 You can then use the STUN and/or TURN server on meetme.id from anywhere, any application that requires one or both of them.

meetme.id is a service server that I setup to test and learn the current IP communication technologies such as WebRTC, SIP and XMPP/Jabber. I also try to seriously setup and maintain it so that it can actually be useful to anyone for actual usages on a long-term.

UPDATE:

Actual deployment of STUN/TURN server on meetme.id is different than this manual. Current implementation the STUN/TURN server on meetme.id are using different port than the default setup.

[code lang=text]
Public STUN server address : stun.meetme.id:443

Public TURN server address : turn.meetme.id:443 (UDP/TCP)
Public TURN credential : public
Public TURN username : public
[/code]

This article is divided into three parts:

  • Part 1: Installation
  • Part 2: Basic Configuration
  • Part 3: The Test

The server is using Ubuntu Server 14.04 and the STUN/TURN server software is Coturn.

Just in case you’re wondering why you should need to even use a STUN and/or TURN service server, here are some pages to start with:

Instalasi dan Konfigurasi OpenBTS 5.0

OpenBTS masih terus dikembangkan, versi terkini adalah OpenBTS 5.0. Banyak sekali pengembangan yang dilakukan untuk kemudahan dalam instalasi dan penggunaan di OpenBTS 5.0 ini.

Berita singkat mengenai rilis OpenBTS 5.0 dapat dibaca disini.

Ujicoba dilaksanakan di Universitas Gunadarma atas bantuan pak M. Akbar Marwan, Rizky Herpurwadi dan Andreas Widodo, terima kasih banyak atas asistensinya, dan tentunya dorongan dan bahan-bahan terdahulu dari pak Onno yang keren 🙂

Tidak mudah mendapatkan akses pada perangkat OpenBTS, Ettus N210, maka dari itu jangan sia-sia kan kesempatan yang diberikan ketika anda diberikan izin untuk ngoprek 🙂
