A pre-packaged example implementation of this is Pink Cell Tower by technologist and artist Julian Oliver and contributor to this wiki<ref>https://julianoliver.com/projects/pink-cell-tower/<ref>. An entire pre-configured 'ISO' disk image can be downloaded and flashed onto an SDcard, for use on a Raspberry Pi minicomputer that is connected to a BlareRF SDR, in turn connected to directional antennae on its transmit (TX) and receive (RX) ports. Optionally running from a truck batteries powered by solar panels, the project can also serve a simple website on the Raspberry Pi 4's built-in WiFi device, whereby important information can be served to those physically proximate to the tower itself. | A pre-packaged example implementation of this is Pink Cell Tower by technologist and artist Julian Oliver and contributor to this wiki<ref>https://julianoliver.com/projects/pink-cell-tower/</ref>.

It is important to check your local jurisdiction before setting up a cell site, as doing so is often in breach of local radio frequency allocation and usage laws. In an emergency such strictures may matter very little. | It is important to check your local jurisdiction before setting up a cell site, as doing so is often in breach of local radio frequency allocation and usage laws.
