However, contrary to WiFi technology, even +most technology-minded people don't have much of an idea how the infrastructure +behind those cellular networks looks like. + +This talk does not cover the architecture and protocols of underlying +cellular systems, but focuses on the physical side of things: +* what are the typical components of cellular base stations? +* what are their key functionalities? +* how did cellular base station technology evolve during the past 20 years? +* how do we expect cellular base stations to change in the [near] future? + +We will not cover DIY or hobbyist projects here, but the actual technology deployed +in the field by real-world commercial operators. + +About the speaker: + +Harald Welte is a CCC member since the 1990ies, developing Free Software +for more than 20 years, has a prior life as Linux Kernel developer. He has +founded the Osmocom project (https://osmocom.org/) about 10 years ago +and focused his life on implementing cellular protocols, interfaces and +network elements as Free Software. \ No newline at end of file
