Yes Think you are right ... I am just horrified at the cost of the
ip.access. I would like to get in to the project but the cost of entry is
just so enormous.
All I can do is research and hope to land on some sort of deal. Then I would
try to get a low powered temp licence and the make the case for a low
powered non-interference license to Industry Canada to deploy low cost
building/campus zones. I am kind of sick to see all the spectrum get eaten
up by the large corps and leave nothing for small companies.

Hi Barnaby,

Has any one looked at airspan radios ?
I am not aware of anyone in our community having had access to those
devices.
it's hard to judge how easily they would integrate with OpenBSC based on
the marketing speech says ;)
I would guess that it should be fairly simple to integrate the GSM part,
if it reuses the Abis related components from ip.access.
However, they could just use some completely different parts of the
ip.access software stack, and have something custom over the back-haul
link.
If you have an interest in OpenBSC interoperability with those units,
I'm sure we could find a way to make it happen. My guess is that
they would be pretty expensive, as the nanoBTS alone (without any LTE)
is already horribly expensive.
Regards,
Harald
