It does support 2G, 3G and 4G.
Thanks,

Hi Neels,
Can we buy the nano3G only from sysmocom and get it working with limesdr
for transceiver?
I still wondering how it works together wirh sdr, is that possible?
Regards,
Sandi

Could you rephrase that? :)
Sure :)
I looked into other 2G/3G projects, mainly OpenBTS and YateBTS and
saw that
OpenBTS-UMTS should support 3G with my SDR. But
I'd very much prefer
sticking to Osmocom, because OpenBTS seems not very active, at
least towards
the public. So I was wondering if someone might
be working on another
Osmocom project that I have not come across yet, that might provide an
alternative to buying a nano3G.
Actually, I just found [1], which also uses the nano3G. So nano3G
seems like
the way to go right now.
Hi Jan,
It is not trivial to find femto cells that provide a usable Iuh that
is not
locked down to specific vendors / networks.
It is also not trivial to write a separate RNC that would allow
operating Iu
proper instead of requiring Iuh, which would open up more
possibilities for 3G
base station hardware. None of GSM is trivial, but we have no RNC yet :)
At Osmocom/sysmocom, we have the sysmoCell 5k series, and have also
managed to
get the far cheaper nano3G plugged to our osmo-hnbgw; plus at
sysmocom we have
a certain number of them available. So wherever you look in the Osmocom
ecosystem, you will see the nano3G popping up its head. The
Accelerate3g5 was
specifically launched by sysmocom to get more people involved in
Osmocom 3G
and, naturally, we gave away nano3G units to about a dozen projects.
http://osmocom.org/projects/cellular-infrastructure/wiki/Accelerate3g5
There is an ongoing process of finding more suitable femto cells,
and it looks
promising, though it's not worth an announcement as of yet.
Anyone out there may join the effort and investigate femto cell models
available on the market and find ways to unlock them so they become
generally
usable with Osmocom 3G.
If you want to get started, the nano3G indeed is your best bet with
Osmocom at
the moment. Be aware that not all nano3G you can buy out there are
ready to be
configured and talk Iuh to any host, so sysmocom is probably the
safest source.
