Centralised or distributed BSC was a key question to consider when deciding on GSM network architecture. Mercury one2one opted for mainly centralised while Orange mainly distributed. Orange used Nokia BSCs, one2one used Ericsson (photo) & Nortel #2G#GSM#historyoftechnology
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) was set to revolutionise mobile Internet access, adverts such as "Surf the BT Cellnet" somewhat oversold the service but nonetheless, WAP played a role in developing the mobile data market. #2G#GSM#WAP#Internet

Tidying up my shed/office and wondering why I’ve got a stack of random magazines. I’d thrown a bunch of them away before opening up a few to see why I kept them. It turns out that I used to hang on to magazines I had photos in. Anyone else do that?
@RetroBoxRoom@cr0bar Yes you have - in DTMF signalling there are 4 freqs in the low group and 4 in the high group giving you 16 options. Psion lets you dial all 16 👍🏻📞☎️
I bought this #1G#analog#tacs phone as a prop for an 80s themed party... Then brought it (briefly) back to life with #limesdr and #osmocom https://t.co/uIibQOfKD7
