Hari ini, sangat mudah untuk membuat jaringan WiFi kita sendiri. Kita cukup memesan router secara online, hubungkan ke listrik, tentukan password dan kita siap mengoperasikan jaringan WiFi kita. WiFi cepat, andal, dan mudah digunakan. Tetapi jika kita ingin menjangkau area yang lebih luas atau menghubungkan ratusan perangkat kecil, hal itu dengan cepat menjadi tidak efisien dan mahal. Apakah satu-satunya cara untuk pergi ke operator jaringan seluler dan membeli SIM card? Tidak juga! Berkat teknologi open source, kita dapat membangun jaringan LTE atau 5G Anda sendiri.
Mengapa kita membangun jaringan seluler pribadi?
Teknologi seluler seperti LTE atau 5G memberikan kemampuan luar biasa pada jaringan pribadi kita. Kita dapat menutupi area yang luas dengan sedikit peralatan. Selain itu, dengan memilih frekuensi yang tepat, kita dapat mencapai performa hebat melalui dinding atau bawah tanah. Jaringan seluler jauh lebih aman daripada WiFi. Belum lagi, ini memungkinkan kita untuk sekarang mendapatkan semua kekuatan dan fitur yang hanya dimiliki oleh operator, seperti pelacakan lokasi peralatan pengguna (UE) dengan akurasi di bawah 1 meter atau pensinyalan dan telemetri lanjutan.
How can I start building open source mobile networks?
You might be scared of high upfront costs required to start building an LTE or 5G network. Fortunately, it’s not that bad. The minimum starting toolkit would be LimeSDR mini and a Raspberry Pi 4. Total cost of this is below 300$ (assuming that you already have a mobile phone…)!
If you want to play with more advanced features like Carrier Aggregation, achieve top speed and connect hundreds of IoT devices, you would need to spend around 10k$ for Ettus x310 and some decent X86 server for compute. As a software stack I can recommend Ubuntu + srsRAN https://github.com/srsran/srsRAN.
Lime SDR
RaspberryPi Enterprise use-cases for private mobile networks Many companies need secure, fast and automated networks for their data and voice use-cases, which are able to cover large areas, be reliable inside buildings or an underground tunnel.
Private LTE and 5G networks meet this need, and if they are based on open technologies also provide great price performance. They are implemented across many industries:
- Campuses – university, hospital or a big office. All of them have huge numbers of people and devices requiring connectivity. Private mobile networks provide cost efficiency and great learning opportunities for universities.
- Oil & gas – these are harsh environments, full of industrial IoT, operating underground and requiring reliability and security provided by LTE and 5G.
- Public sector – smart cities, museums, stadiums or public transportation.
- Military – private 5G networks are key in modern, connected military operations. Situational awareness from sensors and drones is a force multiplier. However, it requires performance and security that only the latest mobile technology can deliver.
- Manufacturing – Mercedes Benz and Bosch already track production lines and optimize their manufacturing processes using private 5G networks and MEC. Decisions must be made fast, and on the spot. Sending data to the public cloud is too slow and local micro clouds show much better results in such use cases.
How to build an enterprise grade private mobile network Basic schematics of a private LTE or 5G network would look like this:
- User equipment – this is anything from a mobile phone, to IoT devices, drones or self driving vehicles.
- Radio Access Network – this is a part containing the base station, antennas and L1/L2 processing.
- Evolved packet core – a framework for providing converged voice and data on LTE
- Micro cloud – a new class of infrastructure for on-demand computing at the edge
A working open source implementation of such a network would be:
- OpenRAN for disaggregated, and open radio access network, running RIC, RU, CU and DU on Ubuntu operating system
- Magma core providing state of the art EPC, with Federation Gateway and Access Gateway (since 1.15 migrated to Ubuntu)
- Charmed Kubernetes to provide container infrastructure for RAN and EPC
- Charmed OpenStack, providing easy to operate, telco grade private cloud
- Combination of MAAS, LXD and MicroK8s which build state of the art micro cloud allowing you to run your edge applications as VMs, containers, bare metal and providing all EPA features like DPDK, SR-IOV or NVIDIA GPU acceleration
