Big thanks to you also @spencersevilla, we have been testing LTE with Open5GS for over a year and we love the static IP addition, also utilizing this in this emergency access system. If you guys want any specific information from this EPC, please let me know. |

Hi All,
Just wanted to share a quick success story. We were tasked with providing emergency internet access to a remote area with no mobile or internet coverage that has been setup as a quarantine zone for the Corona Virus. It was impossible to mobilize any new equipment in that timeframe so we had to use what was on hand, and the best thing we had was our 4G LTE testing kit which compromises of a single Airspan 1w eNodeB, some TP Link CPE and a Intel NUC (i3 CPU!!) running some VM's including Open5GS 1.1.0. We normally use this kit to temporarily setup the eNodeB to test range & throughput etc.
We were given this task on a Sunday morning, and by Monday afternoon (less than 30 hours) we had a fully functioning 4G LTE data-only network, with around 5 CPE's providing internet access to the patients & staff of the quarantine zone, which they connect to over WiFi ( they are TP-Link MR200 CPE). This time frame also included full provisioning of a fiber backhaul service and configuration of edge/core routing.
I can proudly say that with minimal EPC & eNodeB config, we have had this network performing flawlessly for over 30 hours now, with more than 200 people using it. This has been a great stress test for Open5GS and as of the time of writing we have seen 170GB of traffic through the network and average of about 30mbps throughput 24hrs a day. Please see graphs attached.
The staff and patients have been very happy and grateful to have the access, and this is in no small part due to the hard work put in by all the contributors of this project, partiuclarly @acetcom Sukchan.
Thank you and keep up the great work.
