To advise the group, we have a quantity of nanoBTS 1800 GPRS capable units still
available. We have sold other to group members and would be happy to email photos and
references across. This is more of a helpful hunt than an advert so please feel free to
ignore.
Kind Regards
Stuart

I think getting GSM-R BTS equipment is more difficult than regular GSM BTS
equipment. If you want to play with GSM-R from the network side, your best
option might be to implement the NCH and ASCI support inside OpenBTS.
From the telephone side, you can simply use
OsmocomBB. It can use a standard
GSM handset like the Motorola C123 and talk to
GSM-R BTSs. Of course you still
need to implement the GSM-R specific features on layer 3 like ASCI.
In both cases I think the hardware is there for whoever has a serious interest in
experimenting with this technology, and who is not afraid to implement the GSM-R
specific bits.
