[asterisk-users] Connect mobile to asterisk

[lesouvage]

If you are interested in really integrating GSM phones into an  
Asterisk based system without any telco involved check the OpenBTS  
project. I have done a research and trial project and this combination  
of open hardware (USRP), the OpenBTS open source project and Asterisk  
is pretty amazing. The hardware is kind of expensive and you have to  
check the legislation in the country if you plan to use an OpenBTS  
based solution but the whole project is real interesting.
