Open Base Station project

The Open Base Station Project is an open-source Unix application that uses the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) to present a GSM air interface to a standard GSM handset. This project seeks to provide mobile wireless communication for about 1/10 the cost of a commercially available option. The tools are such that graduate students can build their own GSM networks as seen in this blog post. According to their project blog they've made substantial progress in field testing it at Burning Man.
