Jonny 290: May 5, 2005; [ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

i bought a couple of SIP FXS adapters on blowout on the 'bay and now i get to pick up a crazy cordless phone system from the goodwill for $5 hell yes

last night i failed hard at sip trunking asterisk to didlogic though. which is weird as we had our grandstream 710 wired right up to it fine, so i dont think its a firewall issue.

okay you might know this

would i need a license that's not just general to run a 900mhz gsm network in my house?

e: that's right i have a general, not just tech

Jonny 290 posted:

if you're sticking to 902-928 mhz, you can get away with a tech license as you have 1500 watts of basically any modulation

if you're out of that range though, there is no license that you can buy. you'll have to fight with verizon and att in a spectrum auction.

wait so what kind of range are you talking for that kind of power?

with a decent yagi or gain antenna, line of sight halfway to jupiter. otherwise it'll be limited by the curvature of the earth same as just about anything UHF

its hard to generate high power at uhf/microwave tho. but the fact that (at least americans) get 1500 watts on our bands is a "haha, wouldnt that be funny if somebody actually got an amp that bi-OH GOD LOOK HE DID IT" fun time

when i'm rich and famous i'm going to stop carrying a cellphone and have a model 500 with a rotary to dtmf converter and an answering machine with a tape in it as my only phone because part of being rich is being able to inconvenience other people with bizarre eccentricities

if that's the case and you don't live right next door to the fcc you can probably get away with it as a one and done

Jonny 290: May 5, 2005; [ASK] me about OS/2 Warp

so right now here is what i have in the bus

code:


  didlogic        ____________
-----------------|asterisk    |---------------------------------[SIP cordless]
-----------------|  on raspi  |              | SIP FXS|
trunk x 2        |____________|--------------|________|---------[POTS speakerphone+cordless system]

sorry for my poo poo ascii

anyways i have an IVR on DIDlogic line 1, you can ring the phones in a sequential ring group, leave a VM, hear a BTC price (speech synth'd from a small random() script) or hear an 8kbps ulaw of a kitty meowing. also theres a conf bridge so if 8 yosposters want to get on and yell at each other we are now equipped for that

line 2 is set to ring thru straight to all the phones and is what i use for fallthrough on my work notifications, if somebody doesnt answer a page for 30 minutes it rings me.

the sip cordless is a grandstream and owns hard, get one.
the pots fxs adapter is a noname chinese i got for $10 that works fine and the pots phone is one of those overblown att speakerphone/3 cordless handset dealie bobs from goodwill for $10.
i have shiiiitloads of phoooones. still need to get a couple 7960g's tho

didlogic is cheap, im paying $0.99 per line + 0.0052/min for north america

TY for posting that nerd talk about the Iridium network. Satellite comms are really fascinating to me.

Anyway I had no idea it was a commercial venture. I wasn't even born when it was launched, so the only real investor or user I knew of was government employees and the occasional insanely serious hiker type who would be out of civilization for months
