  1. Current state of the project: we're in the decision making phase for which components to use in the next generation of pagers; the new board design is going to be created over the course of summer.

    More info to follow in a few weeks :)

  2. Mobile transmitter is back in business; we're able to run local tests :)

  3. Hello EasterHegg, we're on site :)

    Mobile test infrastructure still work in progress, probably on air tomorrow.

  4. Current plans concerning EasterHegg (still might change):
    Only two or three members of our group will make the journey to Koblenz, and we haven't registered for an assembly spot.

    But we plan to bring a few assembled pagers and at least a small test transmitter (very limited range) so we can do a demonstration on the fly.

    If you are interested, leave a comment, and we'll try to organise a little meet-up :)

  5. We're out of hibernation after 39c3 and back to planning! ❄️

    Currently, we are discussing the further progress of the project, including whether and how we could provide a purchasable pager kit.
    Thank you all for your great interest and patience. We will try to come back with more concrete information as soon as possible!

    Meanwile, here is our recap of 39c3 and Norddeutscher Funktag: signalspielplatz.de/Blog.html

  6. All our POCSAG transmitters are offline.

    Thank you to everyone who supported us, listened to our talk, tested the coverage in the building, reported successfully received messages, and came to discuss the project!

    See you at Norddeutscher Funktag! (Jan 3rd 2026)

  8. We have a callbook for tests. And the first pager meme has reached us 😄
    thx @maltepoeggel_de for ''RIC & Morty"

    Send more memes, and come say hi!

  9. Day 0 of #39c3 — assembly hardware set up and work going on.

    Come visit us from tomorrow on floor 2 (very close to CERT); and our talk will be on day 2 in Hall 1!

  10. We updated our RIC list on signalspielplatz.de with regard to the event info for 39c3.
    There will be an experimental setup to send event information of the four main rooms prior to the talks happening.

    Please keep in mind that this is still experimental and no continuous service can be guaranteed.

  11. Today's taskforce finished assembling all the new transmitters; on one of these the software installation was done as well already — up and running!

  12. Everybody is baking cookies ... we're baking pagers 😁
    First batch of 39c3 pagers populated with small components and in the reflow oven!

  13. Another element for our 39c3 pager is ready:

    Custom radio frontend PCBs.

    Neat little squares a group member designed; after cutting them out an SX1262 module will be placed on each one.

  14. Assembly: accepted ✅🎉

    More info to follow, but we'll be more than happy to discuss pagers, meshtastic, and train signals. So if that's your jam, please plan to stop by :)

  15. State of the new POCSAG transmitters:

    Eight new custom Pi hats are up and running (more than we need right now) as of last night!

    Next, the Motorola radios need to be programmed.
    Then for each transmitter, we'll combine one of the radios with a Pi plus hat, and assemble everything into sturdy metal casings.
