nanoBTS is a completely closed source product. Their GPRS stack has reliability issues
Just a note that I've heard that nanoBTS GPRS is perfectly reliable with the ipaccess BSC. I haven't seen it myself though. Maybe some day there will be some analysis of what is actually different.
I can say that this is not true.
I've seen nanoBTS behaving very inconsistently so I'm not excluding that there are some circumstances in which they actually do work reliably, since I have no reason to doubt what I heard about them working fine together with the ipaccess software.
But in any case, a detailed analysis of what is really going would be neccessary in order to potentially make them equally reliable with OpenBSC and I would personally much rather use a sysmoBTS and spend that time on other things. :)
