The CERT (Chaos Emergency Response Team) is a team of professionally trained doctors, nurses, paramedics and diversely trained medics, firefighters and specialists in crisis intervention.
They take care of all emergencies and problems that require medical attention. Whatever sickness or injury you come up with, the CERT is your place to go to. This team also makes sure that fire safety regulations are adhered to and emergency routes are unblocked.
Awareness

Heaven
- DECT: 1023
- Email: ticket@c3heaven.de
- Heaven Tent: At M 11
- Mastodon: @c3himmel (Only for information, no inbound requests!)
Events of this size are only possible with your help, so please participate!
Heaven is the “partner exchange” of the Chaos events. We try to distribute lifeforms who want to help out at our events (”angels”) among the work that is brought to us by other teams. At the same time, we do the best we can to make sure our angels have fun doing what they do and are doing well. We are always available for our angels as contact persons and help them with questions, just as we try to find good and pragmatic solutions for the teams for the work that arises.
POC
GSM
The c3gsm team has obtained spectrum licenses in several bands. Right now the plan is to deploy
- GSM in the 1800 MHz band
- LTE in the 2600 MHz band
At a lower priority, there might also be UMTS and/or 5G.
How to get a SIM card
In order to use the private on-site cellular networks, you will need a CCC Event SIM card.
You can either
- re-use any SIM card from any previous CCC event (congress, camp), or
- obtain a new SIM card at the event. We've ordered a large batch of cards. However, unfortunately there has been some shipping delay. While the cards have arrived in Germany for customs processing on August 10, they are not expected to arrive at the camp before the morning of August 15 (Day 1).
What about eSIM?
There was some last minute work ahead of the Camp trying to make eSIM profiles available. It is currently not yet known if this will succeed.
By the way: There is going to be a Talk on eSIM technology in case you want to hear more about the complexities of the eSIM universe
ISDN (and POTS)
We are planning to operate an experimental ISDN and analog telephony network.
The subscriber lines will be terminated using de-commissioned V5_Access_Multiplexers that were donated by telecom operators together with the osmo-v5 protocol stack and osmo-cc.
This network will be provided for people to re-enact the good old telephony days, using anything as old as rotary dial phones, up to the 1990s ISDN experience.
So if you still have your old wired telephones or ISDN equipment in a basement, feel free to bring it along and hook it up.
How to connect to the network?
Types of interfaces
We can offer
- analog POTS ports, exposed as classic 2-wire “ab” interface according to German standards.
- ISDN ports using Uk0 interface, using 4B3T according to German standards
What Equipment do I need to bring?
For analog lines, you can connect any analog phone, answering machine, fax, modem, etc. Even rotary phones from Sweden and New Zealand (with their special pulse sequences) will work.
For ISDN lines, you should bring your NTBA/NT1 (to convert Uk0 to S0) and then any ISDN equipment like phones, ISDN adapters, PBXs, … .
If you only have ISDN equipment for S0-bus but no NTBA, we have a few NTBA around that we can lend you, as needed, on a first-come-first-serve basis.
In addition, it is wise to bring sufficient length of telephony wires so you can connect to the closest “Point of Presence”.
Where can I connect to the network?
You would need to run some telephony wire (or CAT5, if that’s all you have) to one of our “points of presence”, where we will put V5_Access_Multiplexers.
We are planning to deploy those at only a few (2-3) “Datenklo” around the camp site. One of them will be in the vicinity of the PoC tent, the other locations are yet to be determined.
What kind of services do you offer?
Our experimental analog + ISDN network will be interconnected with the PoC/eventphone so you should be able to connect not only with other users of the analog/ISDN network, but also the PoC DECT subsribers, as well as the c3gsm GSM subscribers.
There might also be connectivity with the OCTOI network, but we are uncertain if we can achieve that. How to contact you.
