Thank you for infos Harald

I was already considering to but a TGP2G1 Femtocell Trial Package, but  USD 7,200 i think is not so cheap actually.

I will try to find some sponsors and hope

P.S: What about GSM-R... you know some old devices to work on it?!

Kindly regards


Luca

Hi Luca,

I think the general sitation is:

1) ip.access nanoBTS is relatively expensive, > 3000 EUR for each new unit

2) BS-11 are all sold out and unlikely to be available anywhere again

3) Ericsson RBS 2308 / 2303 / 2402 seem to appear more or less frequently.
   However, Ericsson A-bis OML is very different from the ip.access or Siemens
   OML.  Nobody who has one of those RBS has yet been working on writing the
   required code to implement Ericsson OML on the BSC side.  If that is done,
   OpenBSC should work with Ericsson RBS.

4) HSL GSM picocells are inexpensive, but have not been shipping, and similarly
   we don't have OpenBSC support yet.  However, many organizations want this,
   so it is likely we will implement it during the next months.

So you can either pay a lot of money and have a ready + working solution, or
you can spend less money and will have to do some sofrware development yourself.

Regards,
    Harald
