Elena-Ramona Modroiu: Build Your 5G Stand Alone Private Network With Open Source

Build Your 5G Stand Alone Private Network With Open Source

Mobile network technologies, for a long time, were known to be anything but affordable, especially for small companies and individuals. However, over the past few years, supported by software defined networks, the costs for radio access hardware went down.  This session presents how one can build an affordable 5G SA private network using open source only software, which then can be used for testing, prototyping and beyond.

Mack Hendricks: Dynamic SIP Credentials

Dynamic SIP Credentials

Learn how to use Kamailio to generate dynamic SIP credentials that expire after a certain amount of time. Engineers sometimes forget to remove SIP credentials of test carriers from a customers system after performing testing, and wouldn’t catch it until a fraud notification from the carrier or receive the monthly bill. Therefore, we created a RESTFUL endpoint called “/lease” and it creates a set of SIP credentials that are only active for a defined timeframe.
