Hi Harald,
I think the best way to figure that out is to contact
the usual surplus
traders, whom you already know from your codec experience.
I'll start by asking shields-e. From my TRAU experience I got the
impression that shields-e are on the upper end of price range compared
to others (while the less expensive trader company refused to sell to
me because I wasn't legitimate enough for them), but it will be a
start.
I may have been quoting wrong documentation when I
made that statement. There
are some userse who claim that [at least with the software they have], the
DUS31/41 can only do LTE.
Seeing that DUS31/41 can only do LTE makes me wonder. Right now in my
geographic area T-Mobile serve both GSM and LTE (and maybe 5G) with
Ericsson equipment, though no idea exactly what. They are itching to
shut down GSM. If Ericsson never integrated GSM as a pure software
option into their LTE-centric (or 5G-centric) digital units, does it
mean that T-Mobile's current GSM service must be operating with
physical DUG 20 units? (Which would then presumably flood the surplus
market upon shutdown...) Or do you know if they did eventually get
GSM working as a pure software option in later LTE/5G digital units?
