Utilize a Raspberry Pi and a Nuand BladeRF to generate your own portable local cell network

Portable Cell Network

To deploy your own portable cell network you can:

Compile From Source Utilizing The Install Script

1. Fetch and configure the install script from this repository

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MBRO95/PortableCellNetwork/master/PortableCellNetwork.sh #Download script
   chmod +x ./PortableCellNetwork.sh #Add execute functionality

2. Run script

   sudo ./PortableCellNetwork.sh

3. The script will walk you through customizing the cell network name and then kick off

4. After the packages are installed and configured for the BladeRF, the script will detect if the device is present and, if not, it will pause and ask you to connect the BladeRF to the Raspberry Pi. Once connected, press any key to continue and the script will continue until installation is complete.

5. Reboot the Pi

   sudo reboot now

6. Run the 'StartYateBTS.sh' script located in the home directory

   sudo ./StartYateBTS.sh -i #It's important to keep the '-i' flag so the script runs interactively
