This Femtocell looks both from a pricing point of view as from a hardware point of view very interesting. Now that the integration in OpenBSC looks very promising it would become a good alternative for the more expensive ip.access picocells. It seems that these HSL femtocell can not be bought without first investing in the developers pack from HSL which cost as much as 7000$. Does anyone know how to obtain one of these cells for a reasonable price? Are they already deployed by operators?
Looking at the internal hardware, it may even become a substitute for the USRP's....
Hi ste7an and others,
It seems HSL does not want in any way be associated with OpenBSC and actually think it is a bad thing that we have made our software interoperable with their product :(
So it seems we have to continue to look for (and/or work on) other alternatives. I have some ideas but it is too eatly to talk about it.
I do not know of anyone so far using/deploying their cell. -- Sent from a mobile device, excuse my short response
